SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 13, 2024, the Secretary 

of Commerce (Secretary) received a 

‘‘Notice of Appeal’’ filed by Robert 

Hagopian, pursuant to the Coastal Zone 

Management Act (CZMA), 16 U.S.C. 

1451 et seq., and implementing 

regulations found at 15 CFR part 930, 

subpart H. The Notice of Appeal is 

taken from an objection by the New 

York State Department of State to the 

Appellant’s CZMA consistency 

certification for Appellant’s pending 

permit application to the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers to perform shoreline 

stabilization, dock installation, and 

dredging at a property along the Hudson 

River in Ulster, New York. 

Under the CZMA, the Secretary may 

override the New York State Department 

of State’s objection on grounds that the 

project is consistent with the objectives 

or purposes of the CZMA, or otherwise 

necessary in the interest of national 

security. To make the determination 

that the proposed activity is ‘‘consistent 

with the objectives or purposes of the 

CZMA,’’ the Secretary must find that: 

(1) The proposed activity furthers the 

national interest as articulated in 

sections 302 or 303 of the CZMA, in a 

significant or substantial manner; (2) the 

national interest furthered by the 

proposed activity outweighs the 

activity’s adverse coastal effects, when 

those effects are considered separately 

or cumulatively; and (3) no reasonable 

alternative is available that would 

permit the proposed activity to be 

conducted in a manner consistent with 

the enforceable policies of the 

applicable coastal management 

program. 15 CFR 930.121. To make the 

determination that the proposed activity 

is ‘‘necessary in the interest of national 

security,’’ the Secretary must find that a 

national defense or other national 

security interest would be significantly 

impaired if the proposed activity is not 

permitted to go forward as proposed. 15 

CFR 930.122. The Appellant bears the 

burden of submitting evidence in 

support of his appeal and the burden of 

persuasion. 15 CFR 930.127. 

Request for Public and Federal Agency 

Comments 

We encourage the public and 

interested federal agencies to participate 

in this appeal by submitting written 

comments and any relevant materials 

supporting those comments using the

and will generally be posted for public 

viewing on www.regulations.gov 

without change. All personal identifying 

information (e.g., name, address), 

confidential business information, or 

otherwise sensitive information 

submitted voluntarily by the sender will 

be publicly accessible. NOAA will 

accept anonymous comments (enter ‘‘N/ 

A’’ in the required fields if you wish to 

remain anonymous). 

Opportunity for Public Hearing 

The Secretary may hold a public 

hearing on this appeal, either in 

response to a written request for a 

public hearing or upon the Secretary’s 

own initiative. You may submit a 

request for a public hearing using the 

method specified in the ADDRESSES

section of this notice. A written request 

for a public hearing must include an 

explanation for why you believe a 

public hearing would be beneficial and 

aid the decision-maker. The Secretary is 

not obligated to hold a public hearing. 

If a hearing is held, advance notice of 

the time, date, and location of the public 

hearing will be published in the Federal 

Register. The public and federal agency 

comment period will also be reopened 

for a 10-day period following the 

hearing to allow for additional input. 15 

CFR 930.128.
