The appeal is taken from an objection by the New York Department of State to a consistency certification for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer permit needed for the installation of a solar panel array onto an existing dock located in Sterling, New York. The solar array would provide energy to a private residence. Under the CZMA, the Secretary may override the Department of State’s objection on grounds that the project is consistent with the objectives or purposes of the CZMA or otherwise necessary in the interest of national security. To make the determination that the proposed activity is ‘‘consistent with the objectives or purposes of the CZMA,’’ the Department must find that: (1) The proposed activity furthers the national interest as articulated in sections 302 or 303 of the CZMA, in a significant or substantial manner; (2) the adverse effects of the proposed activity do not outweigh its contribution to the national interest, when those effects are considered separately or cumulatively; and (3) no reasonable alternative is available that would permit the activity to be conducted in a manner consistent with enforceable policies of the applicable coastal management program. 15 CFR 930.121. To make the determination that the proposed activity is ‘‘necessary in the interest of national security,’’ the Secretary must find that a national defense or other national security interest would be significantly impaired if the activity is not permitted to go forward as proposed. 15 CFR 930.122.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Appeal

    On August 22, 2013, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) received 
a ``Notice of Appeal'' filed by Mark Smolinski, pursuant to the Coastal 
Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and 
implementing regulations found at 15 CFR part 930, subpart H. The 
appeal is taken from an objection by the New York Department of State 
to a consistency certification for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer permit 
needed for the installation of a solar panel array onto an existing 
dock located in Sterling, New York. The solar array would provide 
energy to a private residence.
    Under the CZMA, the Secretary may override the Department of 
State's objection on grounds that the project is consistent with the 
objectives or purposes of the CZMA or otherwise necessary in the 
interest of national security. To make the determination that the 
proposed activity is ``consistent with the objectives or purposes of 
the CZMA,'' the Department must find that: (1) The proposed activity 
furthers the national interest as articulated in sections 302 or 303 of 
the CZMA, in a significant or substantial manner; (2) the adverse 
effects of the proposed activity do not outweigh its contribution to 
the national interest, when those effects are considered separately or 
cumulatively; and (3) no reasonable alternative is available that would 
permit the activity to be conducted in a manner consistent with 
enforceable policies of the applicable coastal management program. 15 
CFR 930.121. To make the determination that the proposed activity is 
``necessary in the interest of national security,'' the Secretary must 
find that a national defense or other national security interest would 
be significantly impaired if the activity is not permitted to go 
forward as proposed. 15 CFR 930.122.
