Download as PDF 31304 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 104 / Tuesday, May 31, 2011 / Notices former could have resulted in repeal and termination of the WCZMP, and the latter would not have allowed for the best review of environmental concerns informed by public comment. Termination of the WCZMP would potentially lead to negative physical and socio-economic impacts to coastal resources associated with (1) Lack of application of Federal consistency requirements available only through participation in the national coastal zone management program; and (2) loss of federal funding for implementation of the WCZMP. The ROD did not identify any mitigation or monitoring measures since the final EIS found that many of the variables used to determine the effects were unforeseeable and based on decisions peripherally related to the Guidelines themselves.
