Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of

Proposed Findings Documents,

Environmental Assessments, and

Findings of No Significant Impact on

Approval of Coastal Nonpoint Pollution

Control Programs for New Jersey, New

York, and Florida.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the

availability of the Proposed Findings

Documents, Environmental Assessments

(EA’s) and Findings of No Significant

Impact for New Jersey, New York, and

Florida. 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. The Findings

documents were prepared by NOAA

and EPA to provide the rationale for the

agencies’ decision to approve each state

and territory coastal nonpoint pollution

control 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 pollution control programs.

The EA’s were prepared by NOAA,

pursuant to the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. sections

4321 et seq., to assess the environmental

impacts associated with the approval of
