Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published a document (Final Rule) in the Federal Register on January 5, 2006, effective on February 6, 2006, revising the federal consistency regulations under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). That document referenced an incorrect cross-reference in Sec. 930.125(b) and unnecessarily required the submission of multiple copies of some documents in Sec. Sec. 930.127(d)(1) and 930.127(i)(2). This document amends the final regulations by revising these sections.
