Coastal zone management grants provide funds to states and territories to implement federally approved coastal zone management plans, revise assessment documents and multi-year strategies, submit requests to approve amendments or program changes, and to submit section 306A documentation on their approved coastal zone management plans. Funds are also provided to states and territories to develop their coastal management documents. The information submitted is used to determine if activities achieve national coastal management and enhancement objectives and whether states and territories are adhering to their approved plans.

The annualized responses increased from 360 to 370, an increase of 10, and burden hours decreased from 9,704 to 9,196 (a decrease of 508) due to:
Program Change:
The CZMA Performance Measurement System was streamlined which reduced the number of measures state CMPs need to report, reducing burden hours from 27 to 25. This change resulted in a net reduction of 68 hours (and also a decrease of $11,050 in annualized cost to the Federal government).
Adjustments: Changes in the number of respondents and responses and/or the estimated burden, resulted in a net increase of 6 responses and net decrease in 440 hours.
