John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier
Resources System; Availability of Final
Revised Maps for Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina,
Texas, and Wisconsin
AGENCY:
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
Notice of availability.
ACTION:
The Coastal Barrier Resources
Act requires the Secretary of the Interior
to review the maps of the John H.
Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System
(CBRS) at least once every 5 years and
make any minor and technical
modifications to the boundaries of the
CBRS as are necessary to reflect changes
that have occurred in the size or
location of any unit as a result of natural
forces. We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, have conducted this review for
all of the CBRS units in Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin, and 10
units in South Carolina. This notice
announces the findings of our review
and the availability of final revised
maps for 116 CBRS units in the project
area, except for the North Carolina
units. We did not prepare final revised
maps for the North Carolina units
because sufficient data was not available
in some areas.
DATES: Changes to the CBRS depicted on
the final revised maps, dated December
30, 2022, become effective on August
16, 2023.
ADDRESSES: For information about how
to get copies of the maps or where to go
to view them, see the Availability of
Final Maps and Related Information
section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Methodology
Background information on the
Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA; 16
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and the John H.
Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System
(CBRS), as well as information on the 5year review effort and the methodology
used to produce the revised maps, can
be found in a notice the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) published in
the Federal Register on November 22,
2022 (87 FR 71352).
Announced Map Modifications
This notice announces modifications
to the maps for several CBRS units in
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio,
South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Most of the modifications were made to
reflect changes to the CBRS units as a
result of natural forces (e.g., erosion and
accretion). CBRA requires the Secretary
of the Interior (Secretary) to review the
maps of the CBRS at least once every 5
years and make, in consultation with
the appropriate Federal, State, and local
officials, such minor and technical
modifications to the boundaries of the
CBRS as are necessary solely to reflect
changes that have occurred in the size
or location of any unit as a result of
natural forces (16 U.S.C. 3503(c)).
The Service’s review resulted in a set
of 118 final revised maps, dated
December 30, 2022, depicting a total of
116 CBRS units. The set of maps
includes:
• 36 maps for 46 CBRS units located in
Michigan
• 1 map for 1 CBRS unit located in
Minnesota
• 9 maps for 7 CBRS units located in
Mississippi
• 7 maps for 10 CBRS units located in
Ohio
• 7 maps for 10 CBRS units located in
South Carolina
• 53 maps for 35 CBRS units located in
Texas
• 5 maps for 7 CBRS units located in
Wisconsin
The Service made modifications to a
total of 18 CBRS units (of the 133 units
reviewed) due to natural changes in
their size or location since they were
last mapped. No revised maps were
prepared for the 17 North Carolina units
that were included in our initial review.
Because of ongoing geomorphic change
in certain units and the need for
additional data, the North Carolina units
will be reviewed again in the future.
