Background
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The federal Coastal Zone Management
Act provides incentives to encourage
and assist states, commonwealths and
territories to develop and implement
programs to manage land and water uses
which may affect coastal land and water
resources. The PRCZMP was approved
by NOAA in 1978. Since that time,
statutory and regulatory changes have
been made to the organizational
structure of the land use agencies which
comprise the PRCZMP, the land use
authority of local governments, and
permit review process. These changes
are in force and being implemented as
laws of the Commonwealth pursuant to
the Puerto Rico Permit Process Reform
Act of 2009 (Law 161), as amended by
Law 151 of 2013, and pursuant to the
Autonomous Municipalities Act of 1991
