Sec. 459f-11. Comprehensive plan for protection, management, and
use of seashore
(a) Contents; transmittal to Congressional committees
Within two years of October 21, 1976, the Secretary shall develop
and transmit to the Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs of the
Senate and the House of Representatives a comprehensive plan for the
protection, management, and use of the seashore, to include but not be
limited to the following considerations:
(1) measures for the full protection and management of the
natural resources and natural ecosystems of the seashore;
(2) present and proposed uses of the seashore and the lands and
waters adjacent or related thereto, the uses of which would
reasonably be expected to influence the administration, use, and
environmental quality of the seashore;
(3) plans for the development of facilities necessary and
appropriate for visitor use and enjoyment of the seashore, with
identification of resource and user carrying capacities, along with
the anticipated costs for all proposed development;
(4) plans for visitor transportation systems integrated and
coordinated with lands and facilities adjacent to, but outside of,
the seashore; and
(5) plans for fostering the development of cooperative
agreements and land and resource use patterns outside the seashore
which would be compatible with the protection and management of the
seashore.
(b) Consultation by other Federal agencies with Secretary
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal loan, grant,
license, or other form of assistance for any project which, in the
opinion of the Secretary would significantly adversely affect the
administration, use, and environmental quality of the seashore shall be
made, issued, or approved by the head of any Federal agency without
first consulting with the Secretary to determine whether or not such
project is consistent with the plan developed pursuant to this section
and allowing him at least thirty days to comment in writing on such
proposed action.
