Abstract: Section 384 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109–58) established the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP). This program provides Federal grant funds derived from Federal offshore lease revenues to oil-producing States for: • Conservation, protection, or restoration of coastal areas, including wetlands; • Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources; • Planning assistance and the administrative costs of complying with these objectives; • Implementation of a federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plan; and • Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects and public service needs. The States of Alabama, Alaska, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas are eligible for CIAP funding. Also eligible to receive CIAP funds are 67 coastal political subdivisions in the 6 States. The affected States have prepared Statewide CIAP plans that include proposed projects. The federally approved CIAP plans have also been coordinated through a public review process.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We estimate that we will receive 1,982 responses totaling 15,624 annual burden hours for this information collection. This is net increase of 783 responses and 2,037 annual burden hours from the previous submission. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management submitted the previous ICR. The Fish and Wildlife Service assumed responsibility for CIAP in 2011. We are reporting as a program change, a decrease of 393 responses and 8,121 annual burden hours relating to portions of CIAP. This is a result of deleting several ICs. We no longer accept applications so we deleted all ICs relating to the application process. We do not require bi-annual reports and deleted the IC. We are reporting as an adjustment, an increase of 1,176 responses and 10,158 annual burden responses. This is a result of increasing the number of responses and/or completion times, based on our experience in administering CIAP for the past 3 years.
