Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
After receipt of the OCS plan, environmental report,
					 consistency certification and the accompanying findings and assessments and any
					 other information which the Executive Director deems necessary, the Executive
					 Director shall:
(a) Prepare a staff
				  summary and recommendation of the applicants' findings and assessments and send
				  it to the applicant, the Assistant Administrator, the Area Supervisor, and
				  other relevant Federal agencies, local governments, state agencies, and other
				  interested parties. If the vote on the certification is scheduled for a later
				  meeting than the oral hearing, the Executive Director shall prepare a separate
				  staff recommendation according to the requirements of Chapter 5, Article 12 (T.
				  14 Cal. Adm. Code).
(b) Schedule a
				  Commission public hearing on the applicant's consistency certification,
				  findings and assessments and the staff summary, and recommendation, giving
				  appropriate notice to all interested parties, (as listed in Section
				  13660.4(a)
				  above), with particular emphasis on informing citizens of the coastal area
				  which will be affected pursuant to the permit regulations in Chapter 5 (T. 14
				  Cal. Adm. Code) unless specifically changed herein. The Director shall
				  endeavor, where possible, to schedule the public hearing in the affected
				  region. The notice shall announce the availability for inspection of the
				  applicant's consistency certificate and findings. The state and regional
				  agencies responsible for air and water quality compliance shall be notified and
				  provided the opportunity to present their agencies' positions before the
				  Commission hearing. Such hearing shall be set for a regular Coastal Commission
				  meeting not later than the 49th day after receipt of the documents required by
				  Section 13660.3. The Executive Director
				  may, at his discretion, extend for an additional 30 days the 49-day time period
				  for a hearing. All public hearings shall be scheduled with a view toward
				  allowing widespread public distribution of the information contained in the
				  staff's summary and recommendation and toward allowing maximum public
				  participation and attendance at the hearing particularly for the citizens of
				  the affected area, while affording the applicant expeditious consideration of
				  consistency certifications.
