will result in: 

1. Suspension of all unliquidated entries 

(and entries for which liquidation has not 

become final) for which these requirements 

were not met; and 

2. the requirement that the importer post 

applicable antidumping and countervailing

the rates as determined by Commerce; and 

3. the revocation of {NAME OF

invite public comment on the agencies’ 

proposed finding that Texas has 

satisfied all conditions the agencies 

established as part of their 2003 

approval of the State’s coastal nonpoint 

pollution control program (coastal 

nonpoint program). The Coastal Zone 

Act Reauthorization Amendments 

(CZARA) directs states and territories 

with coastal zone management programs 

previously approved under Section 306 

of the Coastal Zone Management Act to

develop and implement coastal 

nonpoint programs, which must be 

submitted to the Federal Register for 

approval. Prior to making such a 

finding, NOAA and the EPA invite 

public input on the agencies’ rationale 

for this proposed finding. 

DATES: Comments are due by March 16, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

findings document may be found on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

6217(a) of the Coastal Zone Act 

Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), 

16 U.S.C. Section 1455b(a), requires that 

each state (or territory) with a coastal 

zone management program previously 

approved under Section 306 of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act must 

prepare and submit to the agencies a 

coastal nonpoint pollution control 

program for approval. Texas submitted 

its program to the agencies for approval 

after gaining federal approval of its 

coastal zone management program in 

1996. The agencies provided public 

notice of and invited public comment 

on their proposal to approve, with 

conditions, the Texas program (68 FR 

16784). The agencies approved the 

program by the Federal Register notice 

dated October 16, 2003, subject to the 

conditions specified therein (68 FR 

59588). The agencies now propose to 

find, and invite public comment on the 

proposed findings, that Texas has 

satisfied the conditions associated with 

the earlier approval of its coastal 

nonpoint program. 

The proposed findings document for 

Texas’s program is available at 

www.regulations.gov (search for NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0168) and information on 

the Coastal Nonpoint Program in general 

is available on the NOAA website at
