Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a new information 

collection. 

NOAA’s Office for Coastal 

Management (OCM) and its regional, 

state, federal, and non-profit partners 

have worked closely with coastal 

managers across the country to increase 

the resilience of our coastal 

communities, economies, and 

ecosystems. Per the Coastal Zone 

Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), OCM 

provides financial and technical 

assistance to states and territories, 

including that which helps its 

customers (coastal managers) develop 

hazard mitigation and climate 

adaptation plans that include strategies 

for short-term responses to immediate 

threats (e.g., flooding, hurricanes) as 

well as long-term responses to gradual 

changes (e.g., sea level rise, drought). 

Services are provided through outreach, 

training, funding, resource, and tool 

development. 

Solutions to these resilience 

challenges are often complex and crosssectoral. Therefore, coastal decisionmakers regularly point to the need for 

more substantial, coordinated, sustained 

and creative funding opportunities to 

support these efforts. The results of an 

initial review of more than 200 

resources that NOAA conducted in 

support of this effort, and informal 

conversations with NOAA customers 

and other stakeholders indicate that 

there is no comprehensive inventory or 

guide to understanding and selecting 

appropriate funding options or 

financing strategies. These findings have 

been further confirmed in subsequent 

informal discussions with coastal 

resilience and finance practitioners at 

national venues such as the National 

Adaptation Forum in April 2019 and 

Social Coast Forum in February 2020. 

NOAA’s coastal management partners 

have requested support on this topic. 

The financing world is one that is 

constantly evolving new products and 

retiring others. The range of funding and 

financing options, from grants and lowinterest loans to more innovative 

private-public partnerships and 

emerging bonds, presents an everchanging and complex array of choices. 

In initial internal communications and 

informal discussions conducted 

between June 2018 and February 2020, 

NOAA customers indicated that these 

opportunities and mechanisms are not 

well understood, and are generally 

inaccessible to coastal managers, 

particularly in small to mid-sized 

communities, rural areas, and tribal 

communities. 

In many coastal communities, 

investment in mitigation and resilience 

measures remains either limited or 

reactive in response to a catastrophic 

event. While there are no data on the 

number of adaptations plans that have 

been implemented, lack of funding is a 

frequently cited barrier to 

implementation. At the same time, it 

has been estimated that investing in 

mitigation can save communities $6 for 

every $1 spent through mitigation grants 

from agencies including the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, and Economic 

Development Administration (according 

to the National Institute of Building 

Sciences’ October 2018 report, Natural 

Hazard Mitigation Saves: Utilities and 

Transportation Infrastructure). 

Understanding the suite of funding and 

financing options available at the time 

resilience planning is undertaken, and 

then incorporating financial strategies 

into the planning process and 

recommendations, will help ensure that 

these plans are implemented. Section 

310 of the Coastal Zone Management 

Act allows for technical assistance and 

management-oriented research to 

develop and implement state coastal 

management program amendments. 

NOAA is in the process of developing 

a needs assessment to define the types 

of funding, financing mechanisms, and 

associated resources that its state and 

local coastal manager customers need 

for coastal resilience activities and a 

market analysis of existing funding and 

financing programs and mechanisms. 

Simultaneously, NOAA is identifying 

existing resources and partnership 

opportunities for state and local coastal 

managers and NOAA’s non-profit, 

academic, and other customers. 

7366 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 17 / Thursday, January 28, 2021 / Notices 

1 17 CFR 145.9. 

This request is for a set of related 

interviews to facilitate this research. 

NOAA will perform interviews with 

state and local coastal managers, as well 

as representatives from non-profit 

organizations, academia, the federal 

government, and the finance industry. 

The interviews will collect relevant 

information from interviewees on their 

experiences with coastal resilience 

funding and financing mechanisms, 

challenges and opportunities related to 

funding and financing coastal resilience, 

and technical support needs and 

opportunities that NOAA can address. 

The information provided by 

interviewees will be synthesized into 

the needs assessment, which will 

address needs and information gaps 

partitioned by region, financial scale, 

time scale, and scope/sector. The 

information provided by interviewees 

will also be used to help inform an 

inventory of existing entities providing 

resources for resilience funding, as well 

as a summary of existing and emerging 

funding sources and financial tools and 

mechanisms for coastal resilience. 

Finally, the interviews will inform 

recommendations on NOAA’s potential 

niche in addressing the identified needs 

and gaps. 

The resulting research (and any 

subsequent resources or tools developed 

by NOAA to address identified gaps) 

will provide much needed information 

to NOAA’s customers on funding and 

financing coastal resilience efforts, 

including available resources and 

mechanisms, best practices and 

strategies, real world success stories, 

and opportunities for technical and 

financial partnerships with private and 

public entities.

structured telephone interviews.
