Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control 

Program: Proposal To Find That 

Illinois Has Satisfied Conditions on 

Earlier Approval 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed finding; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

and the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) (‘‘the agencies,’’ hereafter) 

invite public comment on the agencies’ 

proposed finding that Illinois has 

satisfied all conditions the agencies 

established as part of their 2016 

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 agencies for approval. 

Prior to making such a finding, NOAA 

and the EPA invite public input on the 

two agencies’ rationale for this proposed 

finding. 

DATES: Comments are due by July 18, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

findings document may be found on 

www.regulations.gov (search for NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0102) and NOAA’s Coastal 

Nonpoint Pollution Control Program 

website at coast.noaa.gov/czm/ 

pollutioncontrol/. 

Comments may be submitted by: 

• Electronic Submission: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal. Go to 

www.regulations.gov and enter NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0102 in the Search box, then 

click the ‘‘Comment’’ icon, complete the 

required fields, and enter or attach your 

comments. 

• Mail: Submit written comments to 

Joelle Gore, Chief, Stewardship Division 

(N/OCM6), Office for Coastal 

Management, NOS, NOAA, 1305 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland, 

20910; phone 240–533–0813; ATTN: 

Illinois Coastal Nonpoint Program. 

Instructions: All comments received 

are a part of the public record and will 

generally be posted for public viewing 

on www.regulations.gov without change. 

All personally identifiable information 

(for example, name, address, etc.), 

confidential business information, or 

otherwise sensitive information 

submitted voluntarily by the commenter 

will be publicly accessible. The agencies 

will accept anonymous comments (enter 

‘‘N/A’’ in the required fields if you wish 

to remain anonymous). Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The agencies will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system).

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. Illinois submitted 

its program to the agencies for approval 

in 2014 after gaining federal approval of 

its coastal zone management program in 

2012. The agencies provided public 

notice of and invited public comment 

on their proposal to approve, with 

conditions, the Illinois program (81 FR 

33216). The agencies approved the 

program in the Federal Register notice 

dated August 23, 2016, subject to the 

conditions specified therein (68 FR 

59588). The agencies now propose to 

find, and invite public comment on the 

proposed findings, that Illinois has 

satisfied the conditions associated with 

the earlier approval of its coastal 

nonpoint program. 

The proposed findings document for 

Illinois’ program is available at 

www.regulations.gov (search for NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0102) and information on 

the Coastal Nonpoint Program in general 

is available on the NOAA website at
