Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program: Approval Decision on 
California Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, and The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to approve the California Coastal Nonpoint 
Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the intent to fully approve the 
California Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program (coastal nonpoint 
program) and of the availability of the draft Approval Decisions on 
conditions for the California coastal nonpoint program. Section 6217 of 
the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), 16 U.S.C. 
section 1455b, requires states and territories with coastal zone 
management programs that have received approval under section 306 of 
the Coastal Zone Management Act to develop and implement coastal 
nonpoint programs. Coastal states and territories were required to 
submit their coastal nonpoint programs to the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) for approval in July 1995. NOAA and EPA conditionally 
approved the California coastal nonpoint program on June 30, 1998. NOAA 
and EPA have drafted approval decisions describing how California has 
satisfied the conditions placed on its program and therefore has a 
fully approved coastal nonpoint program.
    NOAA and EPA are making the draft decisions for the California 
coastal nonpoint program available for a 30-day public comment period. 
If no comments are received, the California program will be approved. 
If comments are received, NOAA and EPA will consider whether such 
comments are significant enough to affect the decision to fully approve 
the program.
    Copies of the draft Approval Decisions can be found on the NOAA 
website at http://www.nos.noaa.gov/ocrm/czm/ or may be obtained upon 
request from: Joseph P. Flanagan, Coastal Programs Division (N/ORM3),
