The Coastal Barrier Resources

of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier
Resources System (CBRS) at least once
every 5 years and make any minor and
technical modifications to the
boundaries of the CBRS as are necessary
to reflect changes that have occurred in
the size or location of any CBRS unit as
a result of natural forces. The U.S. Fish

Background
Background information on the CBRA
(16 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and the CBRS,
as well as information on the digital
conversion effort and the methodology
used to produce the revised maps, can
be found in a notice the Service
published in the Federal Register on
August 29, 2013 (78 FR 53467).
For information on how to access the
draft revised maps, see the Availability
of Draft Maps and Related Information
section below.
Proposed Modifications to the CBRS
Boundaries
This notice fulfills a requirement
under the CBRA (16 U.S.C. 3503(f)(3))
that the Secretary publish a notice in the
Federal Register of any proposed
revisions to the CBRS to reflect: (1)
Changes that have occurred to the CBRS
as a result of natural forces (e.g., erosion
and accretion); (2) voluntary additions
to the CBRS requested by property
owners; or (3) additions of excess
Federal property to the CBRS (as
authorized under 16 U.S.C. 3503(c)–(e)).
The Service’s review of all of the
CBRS units in Alabama, all units in

Great Lakes region of New York, all
units in Ohio, and all units in
Wisconsin resulted in a set of 205 draft
revised maps, dated August 14, 2015,
depicting a total of 250 CBRS units. The
set of maps includes 9 maps for 10
CBRS units located in Alabama, 93
maps for 128 CBRS units located in
Florida, 16 maps for 13 CBRS units
located in Georgia, 15 maps for 7 CBRS
units located in Louisiana, 36 maps for
46 CBRS units located in Michigan, 1
map for 1 CBRS unit located in
Minnesota, 9 maps for 7 CBRS units
located in Mississippi, 14 maps for 21
CBRS units located in the Great Lakes
region of New York, 7 maps for 10 CBRS
units located in Ohio, and 5 maps for 7
CBRS units located in Wisconsin. The
Service’s review of these areas found a
total of 136 CBRS units that require
modifications due to natural changes in
the size or location of the units since
they were last mapped. The Service’s
review of these areas also found two
CBRS units that require modifications to
correct administrative errors that were
made in the past, on maps for Santa
Rosa County, Florida, and Jackson
County, Mississippi.
Following the close of the comment
period on the date listed in the DATES
section of this document, the Service
will review all comments received from
Federal, State, and local officials on the
draft maps; make adjustments to the
draft maps, as appropriate; and publish
a notice in the Federal Register to
announce the availability of the final
revised maps.
Below is a summary of the changes
depicted on the draft revised maps.
Alabama
The Service’s review found 6 of the 10
CBRS units in Alabama to have changed
due to natural forces.
AL–01P: PERDIDO KEY UNIT. A portion of
the northern boundary of the unit has been
modified to account for erosion along the
shoreline of Old River. The western
boundary of the unit has been modified to
account for both erosion and accretion
around Florida Point.
Q01: MOBILE POINT UNIT. There are five
discrete segments of Unit Q01, but
modifications to account for natural changes
were only necessary in the largest segment.
The southern boundary of the excluded area
has been modified to account for erosion
along the shoreline.
Q01P: MOBILE POINT UNIT. There are
four discrete segments of Unit Q01P, but
modifications to account for natural changes
were only necessary in the two eastern
segments. In the easternmost segment of the
unit, the eastern boundary has been modified
to account for shoreline erosion along Oyster
Bay. In the eastern central segment of the
unit, the southern boundary of the excluded
area has been modified to account for
