OMB Control No. 0648-0459
SUPPORTING STATEMENT PART A -
This request is for extension of an existing information collection. The existing form has a current expiration date of May 31, 2025. Only minor updates are included, such as to website URLs in the information collection. It does not include substantive changes to the information requested.
Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.
NOAA has, or is given, authority under the HUCoastal Zone Management Act1 (CZMA) annual appropriations or other authorities to issue funds to coastal states, localities or other eligible entities for planning, conservation, acquisition, protection, restoration, or construction projects, including projects funded through the: Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CZMA Section 307A); National Estuarine Research Reserve System (CZMA Section 315) Land Acquisition and Construction program, Coastal Zone Management Program’s low-cost acquisition and construction program (CZMA Section 306A); or similar projects funded under the CZMA or the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act2. Funding has also been appropriated to support land acquisition under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and/or Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which cite the authority of the CELCP. This funding supports land acquisition and restoration projects through state coastal management programs and National Estuarine Research Reserves. These projects will continue over the next several years. In addition, the CZMA Section 307A requires that each participating coastal state identify priority conservation needs within the state, the values to be protected by inclusion of lands in the program, and the threats to those values that should be avoided. This is done through the development and submittal to NOAA of state CELCP plans in order to participate in the program.
It is necessary to collect information beyond that requested in standard federal forms for federal financial assistance or outlined in 2 C.F.R part 200 (OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) in order to plan for and implement these projects. This information includes: due diligence materials needed to determine the fair market value, environmental condition and legal rights, ownership and boundaries associated with property acquisitions, site plans for potential improvements or restoration, and information needed to determine compliance with other federal laws and authorities. This collection addresses the information needed to make such determinations, as well as conservation planning requirements under the CZMA.
The Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) was established to “protect important coastal and estuarine areas that have significant conservation, recreation, ecological, historical, or aesthetic values, or that are threatened by conversion from their natural or recreational state to other uses.” The program was originally authorized in 2002, and re-authorized through Title XII, Subtitle E of P.L. 111-113 (Section 12502 of HUH.R. 146UH), codified at 16 U.S.C §1456-1. In 2002, Congress directed the Secretary to issue guidelines for this program delineating the criteria for grant awards and to distribute funds in consultation with the states' Coastal Zone Managers' or Governors' designated representatives based on demonstrated need and ability to successfully leverage funds. The guidelines, issued June 17, 2003 in the Federal Register (68 FR 35860)4 establish procedures for eligible applicants who participate in this voluntary program to use during the three phases of the program: 1) developing state conservation plans under this program (and updating them every five years); 2) soliciting project proposals for eligible states and territories to nominate to a national funding competition under this program; and 3) submitting final grant applications for projects selected for funding and carrying out the projects. Also, the information covered by this collection is needed to comply with requirements contained in 16 U.S.C §1456-1 and OMB standards or other applicable laws, regulations or policies governing federal financial assistance related to construction, acquisition, restoration, enhancement, protection, and if necessary, disposition of property, particularly those relating to financial assistance awards to state or local government agencies or entities, non-governmental or private organizations, or others. It is also needed to comply with applicable federal statutes, regulations and policies, including the HUNational Environmental Policy ActUH, HUEndangered Species ActUH,HU Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management ActUH, HUCoastal Barriers Resources ActUH, HUNational Flood Insurance ProgramUH, HUNational Historic Preservation ActUH, and Americans with Disabilities ActUH, among others.
The required content of state conservation plans (CELCP plans) is described in Section 3 of the HUCELCP Program Guidelines5UH. The process and information needed for soliciting project proposals, as well as final grant applications for selected projects, are described in Section 4, and the Applicability of Other Federal Requirements are described in Section 6 of the CELCP Program Guidelines. The required content for National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) Land Acquisition plans, within their Management Plan, is described in 15 CFR§ 921.13 (7)(i)6.
16 U.S.C. § 1456-1 (c)(2) specifies that each participating coastal state shall identify priority conservation needs within the state, the values to be protected by inclusion of lands in the program, and the threats to those values that should be avoided. State CELCP plans are used to establish eligibility for the state or territory’s participation in the program and serve as a guide to potential applicants and merit reviewers to determine whether a proposed project advances the state or territory’s coastal land conservation priorities. The initial plan development is considered a one-time collection of information, but may be updated periodically; for example, once every five years or so. The information to be included in state plans is described in Section 3 of the HUCELCP Program Guidelines.U
Land acquisition projects funded through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Acquisition and Construction program must be part of an approved Management Plan for the Reserve. Low-cost acquisition projects funded through the CZMA’s Low-cost acquisition and construction program must be consistent with a state’s NOAA-approved Coastal Management Plan. Development of state CZM and NERR management plans are covered under a separate OMB-approved information collection.
Applications for Federal Funding -
Applications for financial assistance are collected once per year, subject to availability of funding in the President’s Budget Request and/or through the appropriations process. If NOAA solicits projects for funding through a competitive process, NOAA may solicit project proposals that contain a subset of the information that will be required with a final grant application. The information is used to evaluate the merit of project applications. Merit reviewers evaluate and score each proposal. Program staff use the information to conduct technical reviews of the proposed projects for compliance with program requirements and guidelines.
Project proposals submitted to the annual funding competition contain the following elements: a project description/scope of work; project budget and justification of proposed costs, project checklist, and project location/site maps.
The Project Description should describe:
The nature of the project, including acreage and types of habitats or land values to be protected, as well as how the funds (federal and non-federal) will be used;
The project’s expected benefits in terms of coastal and estuarine land conservation, or in the case of NERRS, CZM or FWCA funding, its expected benefits in terms of the desired resource values to be protected;
Discrete benchmarks for completing the project within a specified time period; and
The types of activities that would be allowed to take place on the land and a strategy for long-term stewardship, such as maintenance or enforcement against illegal uses.
The Project Budget describes:
The breakdown of project costs, by category – such as salary, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual, construction, other (primarily using the SF 424A);
The basis for the estimate of land acquisition costs and the source of matching funds; and
Whether the project has been submitted in application(s) for other sources of federal funding, and if so, which federal program(s) and year(s).
Project Location and Site Maps show:
the general location of the project within the state or coastal county, and
the location and extent of the proposed acquisition in relationship to significant natural features (slope, wetlands, dunes, floodplains, access points, etc.).
The completed Project Application and NEPA checklist, along with supporting information:
demonstrates the project’s eligibility or merit, and
helps NOAA to document compliance with Federal laws, regulations and policies.
If selected for funding, a final grant application is required, including any due diligence documents not submitted as part of the initial proposal, semi-annual progress reports, and, at the end of the award period, the information needed to document completion of all required tasks under the grant. Some of the information to be collected is already covered under OMB’s Uniform Guidance at 2 C.F.R §200. The information is used to: monitor progress of grantees on a semi-annual and annual basis and ensure compliance with applicable OMB Standards or other federal statutes, regulations, or policies governing issues related to construction, acquisition, restoration, protection, and if necessary, disposition of property, as well as those relating to financial assistance awards to state or local government agencies or entities, non-governmental, or other grantees.
Specifically, for each property being acquired or used as match, final grant applications require:
1. Documentation of a landowner’s intent or willingness to sell, which may be in the form of letter or purchase and sale agreement that specifies that the owner is a willing participant in negotiations for possible sale of property for conservation. 16 U.S.C. § 1456-1(d)(1) specifies that land (or easements) must be purchased only from a willing seller, and not as a result of a forced taking.
2. Draft deed, notice of record, or easement, which shows the NOAA deed restriction, ownership, allowable uses, or other terms of the sale. 16 U.S.C. § 1456-1(d)(1) specifies that the grant recipient (or another appropriate public entity) must hold title to the property in perpetuity, manage it consistently with the purposes for which it was protected and will not be sold or converted to other uses, and provide such assurances as the Secretary of Commerce may require regarding the property’s disposition. This is the legal mechanism to ensure the property’s protections are clear and enforceable.
3. Complete and self-contained appraisal developed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice or the Uniform Standards for Federal Land Acquisition (“Yellow Book”), as applicable. An independent, self-contained appraisal is used to establish fair market value of a property for acquisition purposes. “Yellow Book” appraisals are the standard for Federal land acquisitions, but in some cases, appraisals using the Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) may be used, such as for properties whose value is being used as non-Federal match. Appraisals are a standard part of land transactions and are commissioned by prospective buyers regardless of Federal funding. The only potential additional burden is securing an appraisal that meets “Yellow Book” standards.
4. Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement, if applicable. A phase 1 environmental assessment is often conducted by prospective buyers to determine the presence or absence of environmental hazards on a property if there is reason to suspect their potential presence based on past/historical use of the property. It is used to determine whether any remediation/restoration of the property may be needed and if conditions could result in any new liability to the purchaser. Phase 1 assessments are not required, but if one has been done, applicants are asked to submit a copy. From NOAA’s perspective as a funder, this helps determine potential barriers to an acquisition being successfully completed and/or the need for any additional work (and costs) to bring the property to its desired condition for conservation purposes and public use. An Environmental Assessment or Impact Statement may have been prepared (pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act) if the proposed use of a property, such as for a major restoration project, would warrant such a review. If so, this documentation may be considered as part of NOAA’s environmental compliance review.
5. Site Survey/Plat Map. Survey plats establish the legal boundaries of a property. They generally form the basis of the legal description of the property in the deed and are often included as an attachment to the deed. As such, they are a standard part of land transactions and already exist. An updated survey may be commissioned as part of the pre-acquisition due diligence process if there will be any change to the property’s boundary or rights-of-way resulting from the transaction, or if a potential boundary encroachment is suspected. NOAA uses the site survey map to determine the acreage, size and configuration of the property that will be conserved through the program and to identify the location of existing utility rights of way, easements, or other ‘encumbrances’ on the property. NOAA also uses it to ensure consistency with acreage and property description used in the property’s appraisal.
6. Evidence of Title, including any exceptions to title. Title commitments or title reviews any encumbrances, such as easements or reserved ownership rights, which might interfere with the intended conservation purposes for the property. It can also help identify complex ownership or other unresolved issues that may interfere with a timely transfer of clear title and ownership.
7. Standard forms for Federal financial assistance (non-construction). These standard forms are covered by OMB’s PRA information collection.
This extension request (OMB Control No. 0648-0459) covers the complete checklist and any documents or supporting materials described in the checklist. This information collection enables NOAA to implement the CELCP, under its current or future authorization, and facilitate the review of similar projects under other authorities.
Performance Reporting -
Each grant recipient is required to: 1) report semi-annually on their progress in carrying out the approved project and 2) submit a final progress report. These documents are submitted to NOAA electronically via NOAA’s Grants Online system. As a standard condition of the grant, recipients are required to provide documentation of completion for all required tasks, such as a copy of the recorded deed or easement, installed sign acknowledging NOAA’s financial support for the project, and GIS shape-file, if available, for long-term tracking/monitoring of the property.
Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also, describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burden.
NOAA encourages states to submit information in electronic format whenever possible, via internet-based submittal (UGrants.gov, U; NOAA’s internet-based grant’s management system “HeRA Commons” or email) or if needed, by disk or secure file transfer, and supported by paper originals or copies if needed for proof of signature or approval. NOAA will make the project application/checklist and other required documents available on the program’s website (e.g. CELCP website7) and through Grants.gov so they are readily accessible to prospective applicants. NOAA encourages applicants to submit project proposals and final grant applications electronically through Grants.gov to NOAA’s grants management system. NOAA requires coastal states and other applicants to use the eRA Commons8 grants management system, which manages grant-related tasks, including performance reporting, for all financial assistance awards.
Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Question 2
NOAA is the only agency charged with administering and issuing funds under the Coastal Zone Management Act, including the CELCP, NERRS land acquisition, and CZM program (306A). The type of information collected under this request is very similar in nature to information already collected under the Coastal Zone Management Act, particularly the planning elements of section 305, and the land acquisition and construction projects under section 306A, and approved by OMB Control No. 0648-0119. Through this collection, NOAA avoids duplication by using the project checklist, or portions thereof, to meet the information collection needs specific to land acquisition projects under the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program, NERRS Acquisition and Construction Program, CZM Low-cost construction program, as well as similar projects assigned to the agency under other authorities given by Congress. NOAA maintains separate information collections for state CZM administrative and NERRS operations awards.
If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to minimize burden.
This collection does not involve small businesses and is not likely to involve other small entities. Eligible entities may include state, local, regional, inter-state, or tribal government agencies or entities, or in some cases, non-governmental organizations, which in most cases would not qualify as small entities. Through the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program, a coastal state may solicit projects from qualified local governments, each of whom would participate on a voluntary basis. The program includes a “pre-application” process that would minimize the information collection burden by requiring only a sub-set of information that would be needed from the applicant for a final grant application. For projects that are selected for funding, for which additional information is needed, applicants would be asked to submit standard grant application forms, along with the materials already provided for the “pre-application” stage.
Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.
The agency would not be able to implement the program or projects effectively or at all if the collection were conducted less frequently. The information collection corresponds with Congressional or other requirements for: establishment of a program (normally one-time), issuance of financial assistance awards (normally issued once for each appropriations cycle), and performance reporting (semi-annual or annual reporting is standard). Also, the inability to collect due diligence information for land acquisition and restoration projects could increase financial and audit risk for NOAA.
Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with OMB guidelines.
The following addresses how this collection is conducted relative to the following OMB guidelines:
requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterly;
Information is only collected once every five years for CELCP plans; one time each year for project proposals, final grant applications, and due diligence materials for selected projects; and two times per year for progress reports.
requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information in fewer than 30 days after receipt of it;
Funding competitions are announced more than 30 days before due dates.
requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any document;
Documents are submitted electronically. If paper versions of documents are submitted (e.g., oversized property survey plats), respondents are not required to submit more than one copy.
requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government contract, grant-in- aid, or tax records for more than three years;
Respondents retain land acquisition records for which there is a long-term financial and management interest (e.g., deeds, surveys, cost basis and funding sources, etc.) but are not required to retain other routine grant records (e.g., interim progress reports and financial reports, etc.) beyond three years.
in connection with a statistical survey, that is not designed to produce valid and reliable results that can be generalized to the universe of study;
This collection does not involve a statistical survey.
requiring the use of a statistical data classification not reviewed and approved by OMB;
This collection does not involve a statistical survey.
that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or which unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use; or
Merit reviewers are asked to maintain confidentiality of materials submitted as part of grant applications, which are pre-decisional, and to destroy any copies of materials upon completing the merit review.
requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secret, or other confidential information unless the agency can demonstrate that it has instituted procedures to protect the information's confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.
This information collection does not require respondents to submit proprietary trade secrets. It may include documents that contain sensitive information related to pre-acquisition negotiations, such as purchase or option agreements. Application materials are received through Grants.gov, reside in NOAA’s grants management system (eRA Commons) and are reviewed confidentially.
If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publications in the Federal Register of the agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8 (d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the agency in response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.
A 60-day notice of the submission to OMB for this collection and request for comments was published in the Federal Register, (89 FR 102114), on Tuesday, December 17, 2025 (available here9). No comments were received in response.
Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported. Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every 3 years - even if the collection of information activity is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.
NOAA solicited feedback on this information collection by forwarding a copy of the published Federal Register notice to the FY2022 and 2023 recipients of land acquisition funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), with a specific request for their comment. These land acquisition projects are issued under the authority of the CELCP. Please note: no comments or concerns were raised in response to outreach for the PRA renewal.
Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.
No payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees, is provided.
Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy. If the collection requires a systems of records notice (SORN) or privacy impact assessment (PIA), those should be cited and described here.
Draft financial assistance awards and associated documents are received in Grants.gov and transferred to NOAA’s grants management system (eRA Commons). Financial assistance award applications are considered pre-decisional and not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act. PII is not requested, however, due diligence documents may include name, addresses and other contact information of landowners, or property tax information that is generally available via public databases, but which is treated nonetheless as sensitive information. Applications or award files may also include pre-acquisition materials, such as option agreements and appraisals, which are considered pre-decisional and not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act. Merit reviews for financial assistance applications are conducted through the merit review module in the eRA Commons grants system, which avoids the need to download and distribute application materials outside the system. Merit reviewer instructions specify that proposals are received in confidence and that merit reviewers are not to copy, quote or otherwise use or disclose material from any proposal. Further, reviewers are asked to destroy any copies of documents they may have printed once their review is complete.
Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior or attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. This justification should include the reasons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.
No sensitive questions are asked.
Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information.

Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred without this collection of information.
The cost in staff time for NOAA to review CELCP plans is estimated as 10 hours each at $98/hour, for a total annual cost of approximately $4,900 for 4-6 plans per year. The cost in staff time for NOAA to review project checklists and performance reports for each project is estimated as 2 hours each at $83/hour, for a total annual cost of approximately $18,260, based on 220 hours. The maximum total is $23,160. The staff cost for NOAA oversight is approximately $2,320 for updating and posting guidance related to these information collection requirements for each funding competition, as relevant, and renewing this information collection every three years. Source: 2025 OPM salary tables (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2025/DCB_h.pdf) The loaded salary rate was calculated by applying a multiplier of 1.5 to the hourly rate for a Step 5 at the applicable grade level.

Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported in ROCIS.
There are no substantive program changes or adjustments to the information collection since the last OMB approval.
For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation and publication. Address any complex analytical techniques that will be used. Provide the time schedule for the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, and other actions.
NOAA may summarize information contained within the information collection in order to provide internal assessments of program performance or resource allocation, as well as to report externally on accomplishments, location of projects, or information required or requested by the Congress or agencies of the federal government outside of NOAA for oversight.
NOAA’s Ocean Service will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with NOAA standards for confidentiality, privacy, and electronic information. (See response to Question 10 of this Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and privacy.) The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines. Although the information collected is not expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be used in scientific, management, technical or general informational publications. Should NOAA’s Ocean Service decide to disseminate the information, it will be subject to the quality control measures and pre-dissemination review pursuant to HUSection 515 of Public Law 106-554UH.
If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection, explain the reasons that display would be inappropriate.
Not applicable. The agency plans to display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection on all instruments.
Explain each exception to the certification statement identified in “Certification for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions."
