SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an
approved collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. This
information collection assists NOAA in
the development of funding and
financing coastal resilience learning
products and tools in support of the
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972
(CZMA), 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq. NOAA’s
Office for Coastal Management (OCM)
and its regional, State, Federal, and nonprofit partners have worked closely with
coastal managers across the country to
increase the resilience of our coastal
communities, economies and
ecosystems. Under the 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
