SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Act) has
created CIAP by amending Section 31 of
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
(43 U.S.C. 1356(a)). Under the
provisions of the Act, the authority and
responsibility for the management of
CIAP is vested in the Secretary of the
Interior (Secretary). The Secretary has
delegated this authority and
responsibility to MMS. In the February
16, 2007, continuing resolution,
Congress approved a 3 percent
appropriation of the CIAP funds to be
used by MMS to administer the
program. Under Section 384 of the Act,
MMS shall disburse $250 million for
each fiscal year 2007 through 2010 to
eligible producing States (State) and
coastal political subdivisions (CPS). The
funds allocated to each State are based
on the proportion of qualified Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) revenues
offshore the individual State to total
qualified OCS revenues from all States.
In order to receive CIAP funds, States
are required to submit a coastal impact
assistance plan (Plan) that MMS must
approve prior to disbursing any funds.
All funds shall be disbursed through a
grant process. The guidance has been
developed by MMS to provide the
information necessary for States to
develop a Plan and submit it to MMS.
The allotment amounts and guidelines
may be found on the MMS Web site at
https://www.mms.gov/offshore/
CIAPmain.htm.
