The guidelines establish procedures for eligible applicants who choose to participate in the program to use when developing state conservation plans, proposing or soliciting projects under this program, applying for funds, and carrying out projects under this program in a manner that is consistent with the purposes of the program. Guidelines for the CELCP can be found on NOAA’s Web site at: https://www.coast.noaa.gov/czm/land conservation/or may be obtained upon E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM 15JYN1
