Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 1, 2020 / Notices
closed for an administrative appeal filed
with the Department of Commerce by
Electric Boat Corporation requesting
that the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) override an objection by the
New York State Department of State to
a consistency certification for a
proposed project to dispose of dredged
material in the Eastern Long Island
Sound Dredged Material Disposal Site.
DATES: The decision record for Electric
Boat Corporation’s Federal consistency
appeal of New York State Department of
State’s objection closed on August 31,
2020.
ADDRESSES: NOAA has provided access
to publicly available materials and
related documents comprising the
appeal record on the following website:
https://www.regulations.gov/
docket?D=NOAA-HQ-2020-0021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions about this Notice, contact
Lauren Bregman, NOAA Office of the
General Counsel, Oceans and Coasts
Section, 1305 East-West Highway, Room
6111, Silver Spring, MD 20910, (301)
713–7389, lauren.bregman@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 24, 2020, the NOAA
Administrator, pursuant to authority
delegated by the Secretary to decide
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972
(CZMA) federal consistency appeals,
received a ‘‘Notice of Appeal’’ filed by
Electric Boat Corporation (EBC or
‘‘Appellant’’) under the CZMA, 16
U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and implementing
regulations found at 15 CFR part 930,
subpart H. The Notice of Appeal is
taken from an objection by the New
York State Department of State to
Appellant’s consistency certification for
a proposed U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers permit to dispose of dredged
material in the Eastern Long Island
Sound Dredged Material Disposal Site.
Under the CZMA, the NOAA
Administrator may override New York
State Department of State’s objection on
grounds that the project is consistent
with the objectives or purposes of the
CZMA, or is 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
of Commerce 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 national
interest furthered by the proposed
activity outweighs the activity’s adverse
coastal effects, when those effects are
considered separately or cumulatively;
and (3) no reasonable alternative is
available that would permit the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
proposed activity to be conducted in a
manner consistent with the 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 NOAA
Administrator must find that a national
defense or other national security
interest would be significantly impaired
if the proposed activity is not permitted
to go forward as proposed. 15 CFR
930.122.
The NOAA Administrator must close
the decision record in a federal
consistency appeal 160 days after the
Notice of Appeal is published in the
Federal Register. 15 CFR 930.130(a)(1).
The CZMA, though, authorizes the
NOAA Administrator to stay the closing
of the decision record for up to 60 days
when the NOAA Administrator
determines it is necessary to receive, on
an expedited basis, any supplemental
information specifically requested by
the NOAA Administrator to complete a
consistency review. 15 CFR
930.130(a)(2), (3). Consistent with the
above schedule, the decision record for
EBC’s Federal consistency appeal of
New York State Department of State’s
objection closed on August 31, 2020. No
further information or briefs will be
considered in deciding this appeal.
NOAA has provided access to
publicly available materials and related
documents comprising the appeal
record on the following website: https://
