Abstract: This request is for a revision and extension of this collection of information. Four revised documents have been developed, reviewed and finalized. First, the Office for Coastal Management Fiscal Year 2026 Performance Progress Report Guidelines Coastal Management Program Annual Awards (Sections 306, 306A, 309, and 310) and Projects of Special Merit (2026) have been revised to include minor updates, formatting and copy edits and to provide clarification for reporting on competitive and multi-year awards, as well as additional guidance on financial reporting requirements. The updated guidance includes a short overview of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting requirements and requirements for reporting on real property acquired under the award. Second, the Coastal Zone Management Act Section 309 Program Guidance has undergone minor updates to update the timeline for current submittals, and to ensure consistency with current the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Ocean Service (NOS) priorities, as well as the Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program Strategic Plan. Third, minor edits to clarify requirements and reference the new ServiceNow Performance Measure database have been made to the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Performance Measurement System Coastal Management Program Guidance (April 2011, updated June 2025). Finally, the Coastal Zone Management Act Section 306A Guidance has undergone minor updates to remove references to rescinded executive orders.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Decreased number of respondents due to not running a competition for several years.
