Pennsylvania's Coastal Zone Management Program's Routine Program Changes

[29 Pa.B. 3130]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is proposing several minor changes to Pennsylvania's Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program. As required by 15 CFR 923.84, the CZM Program is providing public notice of these changes which have occurred in 1997. These changes involve:

   *  amendments to and renumbering of state regulations currently networked into the CZM Program's enforceable policies, and

   *  the minor expansion of one geographic area of particular concern,

   Since these changes revise Pennsylvania's Federally approved CZM Program, the changes must also be approved by the Federal Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM).

   Pennsylvania has notified OCRM that the proposed changes are considered by the Commonwealth to be Routine Program Changes (RPC). An RPC is defined by Federal CZM Regulations at 15 CFR 923.84 as an action taken by a state to further detail the implementation of the state's CZM Program. Essentially, these changes are either clarifications, minor revisions or improvements, and do not substantially alter one or more of the following CZM Program areas:

   (1)  Uses subject to management;

   (2)  Special management areas;

   (3)  Boundaries;

   (4)  Authorities and organization; and

   (5)  Coordination, public involvement and the national interest.

   Therefore, Pennsylvania has requested OCRM to concur with this determination.

   Copies of the proposed changes are available for review at the Erie County Department of Planning, and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. In Erie, please contact Brian Barnhizer, Erie County Courthouse, Erie, PA 16501, (814) 451-6336. In the Delaware Estuary Region, please contact Ben Ginsberg, 111 South Independence Mall. East--The Bourse Building, Eighth Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19106-2515, (215) 592-1800. Also, copies may be obtained by calling Larry Toth at the Coastal Zone Management Program at (717) 787-5259.

   The RPC is available on the Department's Worldwide Web site (http://www.dep.state.pa.us). Select Subject/Water Management/Coastal Zones.

   Interested parties can submit comments on whether these actions do or do not constitute an RPC. Comments must be submitted within 3 weeks from the date of this notice to Neil K. Christerson, Program Specialist; U.S. Department of Commerce; Coastal Programs Division, OCRM, SSMC4, Room 11209 (N/ORM3); 1305 East-West Highway; Silver Spring, MD 20910.
