DEIS Availability and Review
Copies of the DEIS are available either
on CD or hard copy by contacting Helen
Bass at the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below. In addition, the
DEIS has been posted on OCRM’s Web
site at https://

up.html and the Alaska Coastal
Management Program’s Web site at
https://www.alaskacoast.state.ak.us.
Comments from interested parties on

Written comments may be submitted to
OCRM during the public hearings and at
the address (including e-mail address)
listed in the section entitled FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS
discloses the environmental
consequences associated with OCRM’s

Jkt 208001
review of amendments to the State of
Alaska’s federally-approved coastal
management program (CMP). OCRM’s
approval of Alaska’s request to
incorporate changes into the Alaska
CMP would allow the State to continue
its certification as a federally-approved
CMP, receive Coastal Zone Management
Act (CZMA) funds to implement the
revised program, and conduct State and
federal consistency reviews based on
the revised program policy.
Incorporation of Alaska’s new laws and
regulations and one Executive Order
into its program will result in the
following changes:
• Eliminate the Alaska CMP Coastal
Policy Council and transfer of its
functions to the Alaska Department of
Natural Resources;
• Replace current statewide coastal
standards with new standards, along
with mandated revisions for all district
plans to achieve new standards and
meet new policy development
requirements;
• Assure that matters regulated or
authorized by State or federal law are
not duplicated by coastal or district
enforceable policies, and that district
plans address matters specific to local
concern;
• Exempt certain activities from the
coastal consistency review process
through coverage under the State’s ABC
list review or Department of
Environmental Conservation review;
and
• Limit the parties who have standing
to file legal claims challenging Alaska
CMP consistency decisions.
The proposed review will be
completed, and OCRM’s decision
finalized by December 31, 2005.
Depending on the alternative
implemented, there may be positive
socio-economic benefits associated with
a more efficient permitting process,
negative impacts to subsistence
resources due to changes in Alaska’s
coastal standards and procedures for
district plan development, or long-term
negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with
Alaska’s withdrawal from the federal
CZMA program.
The purpose and need for OCRM’s
review of the amendments is reviewed
in the DEIS. All reasonable, prudent and
feasible alternatives are being
considered, including the no-action
alternative.
