Mr. Swain appealed an objection by the State of Delaware in the proposed construction of a marina and associated structures at the confluence of Cedar Creek and Mispillion River, in Milford, Delaware. Mr. Swain requested that the Secretary override Delaware’s objection based upon an alleged threshold deficiency in the objection and on the grounds that the project is consistent with the objectives of the CZMA or otherwise necessary in the interest of national security.

Under the CZMA, the decision record must close no later than 220 days after notice of the appeal was first published in the Federal Register. See 16 U.S.C. 1465; 15 CFR 930.130. The CZMA requires that a notice be published in the Federal Register indicating the date on which the decision record has been closed. See 16 U.S.C. 1465(b); 15 CFR 930.130. Consistent with this deadline, the Swain appeal decision record was closed on August 12, 2008. No further information, briefs or comments will be considered in deciding this appeal.
