ACTION: Notice of availability of 

recipient allocation amounts for fiscal 

years 2007 and 2008. 

SUMMARY: The Minerals Management 

Service (MMS) is issuing this notice to 

advise the public of the availability of 

the individual allocation amounts 

available to each of the 73 eligible 

recipients of the Coastal Impact 

Assistance Program (CIAP). The 

amounts are an important piece of 

information to be used by the States and 

Coastal Political Subdivisions in the 

completion of CIAP grant applications. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Colleen Benner, Minerals Management 

Service, 381 Elden Street, Mail Stop 

4040, Herndon, Virginia 20170. You 

may also contact Ms. Benner by 

telephone at (703) 787–1710. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Act) has 

created CIAP by amending Section 31 of 

the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act 

(43 U.S.C. 1356(a)). Under the 

provisions of the Act, the authority and 

responsibility for the management of 

CIAP is vested in the Secretary of the 

Interior (Secretary). The Secretary has 

delegated this authority and 

responsibility to MMS. In the February 

16, 2007, continuing resolution, 

Congress approved a 3 percent 

appropriation of the CIAP funds to be 

used by MMS to administer the 

program. Under Section 384 of the Act, 

MMS shall disburse $250 million for 

each fiscal year 2007 through 2010 to 

eligible producing States (State) and 

coastal political subdivisions (CPS). The 

funds allocated to each State are based 

on the proportion of qualified Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) revenues 

offshore the individual State to total 

qualified OCS revenues from all States. 

In order to receive CIAP funds, States 

are required to submit a coastal impact 

assistance plan (Plan) that MMS must 

approve prior to disbursing any funds. 

All funds shall be disbursed through a 

grant process. The guidance has been 

developed by MMS to provide the 

information necessary for States to 

develop a Plan and submit it to MMS. 

The allotment amounts and guidelines 

may be found on the MMS Web site at
