programs. The evaluation process 

includes holding one or more public 

meetings, considering public comments, 

and consulting with interested Federal, 

State, and local agencies and members 

of the public. During the evaluation, 

NOAA will consider the extent to which 

the State of New Hampshire has met the 

national objectives, adhered to the 

management program approved by the 

Secretary of Commerce, and adhered to 

the terms of financial assistance under 

the CZMA. When the evaluation is 

complete, NOAA’s Office for Coastal 

Management will place a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing the 

availability of the final evaluation 

findings.
