SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
NOAA’s Office for Coastal
Management (OCM) and its regional,
state, federal, and non-profit partners
have worked closely with coastal
managers across the country to increase
the resilience of our coastal
communities, economies, and
ecosystems. Per the Coastal Zone
Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), OCM
provides financial and technical
assistance to states and territories,
including that which helps its
customers (coastal managers) develop
hazard mitigation and climate
adaptation plans that include strategies
for short-term responses to immediate
threats (e.g., flooding, hurricanes) as
well as long-term responses to gradual
changes (e.g., sea level rise, drought).
Services are provided through outreach,
training, funding, resource, and tool
development.
Solutions to these resilience
challenges are often complex and crosssectoral. Therefore, coastal decisionmakers regularly point to the need for
more substantial, coordinated, sustained
and creative funding opportunities to
support these efforts. The results of an
initial review of more than 200
resources that NOAA conducted in
support of this effort, and informal
conversations with NOAA customers
and other stakeholders indicate that
there is no comprehensive inventory or
guide to understanding and selecting
appropriate funding options or
financing strategies. These findings have
been further confirmed in subsequent
informal discussions with coastal
resilience and finance practitioners at
national venues such as the National

Adaptation Forum in April 2019 and
Social Coast Forum in February 2020.
NOAA’s coastal management partners
have requested support on this topic.
The financing world is one that is
constantly evolving new products and
retiring others. The range of funding and
financing options, from grants and lowinterest loans to more innovative
private-public partnerships and
emerging bonds, presents an everchanging and complex array of choices.
In initial internal communications and
informal discussions conducted
between June 2018 and February 2020,
NOAA customers indicated that these
opportunities and mechanisms are not
well understood, and are generally
inaccessible to coastal managers,
particularly in small to mid-sized
communities, rural areas, and tribal
communities.
In many coastal communities,
investment in mitigation and resilience
measures remains either limited or
reactive in response to a catastrophic
event. While there are no data on the
number of adaptations plans that have
been implemented, lack of funding is a
frequently cited barrier to
implementation. At the same time, it
has been estimated that investing in
mitigation can save communities $6 for
every $1 spent through mitigation grants
from agencies including the Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and Economic
Development Administration (according
to the National Institute of Building
Sciences’ October 2018 report, Natural
Hazard Mitigation Saves: Utilities and
Transportation Infrastructure).
Understanding the suite of funding and
financing options available at the time
resilience planning is undertaken, and
then incorporating financial strategies
into the planning process and
recommendations, will help ensure that
these plans are implemented. Section
310 of the Coastal Zone Management
Act allows for technical assistance and
management-oriented research to
develop and implement state coastal
management program amendments.
NOAA is in the process of developing
a needs assessment to define the types
of funding, financing mechanisms, and
associated resources that its state and
local coastal manager customers need
for coastal resilience activities and a
market analysis of existing funding and
financing programs and mechanisms.
Simultaneously, NOAA is identifying
existing resources and partnership
opportunities for state and local coastal
managers and NOAA’s non-profit,
academic, and other customers.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 17 / Thursday, January 28, 2021 / Notices

This request is for a set of related
interviews to facilitate this research.
NOAA will perform interviews with
state and local coastal managers, as well
as representatives from non-profit
organizations, academia, the federal
government, and the finance industry.
The interviews will collect relevant
information from interviewees on their
experiences with coastal resilience
funding and financing mechanisms,
challenges and opportunities related to
funding and financing coastal resilience,
and technical support needs and
opportunities that NOAA can address.
The information provided by
interviewees will be synthesized into
the needs assessment, which will
address needs and information gaps
partitioned by region, financial scale,
time scale, and scope/sector. The
information provided by interviewees
will also be used to help inform an
inventory of existing entities providing
resources for resilience funding, as well
as a summary of existing and emerging
funding sources and financial tools and
mechanisms for coastal resilience.
Finally, the interviews will inform
recommendations on NOAA’s potential
niche in addressing the identified needs
and gaps.
The resulting research (and any
subsequent resources or tools developed
by NOAA to address identified gaps)
will provide much needed information
to NOAA’s customers on funding and
financing coastal resilience efforts,
including available resources and
mechanisms, best practices and
strategies, real world success stories,
and opportunities for technical and
financial partnerships with private and
public entities.

IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
