Column I lists each federal agency having responsibility in the coastal zone, and includes the organ- izations contained within the Executive Office of the President, the Executive Departments, and the Independent Agencies. Column 2 provides examples of major activities and interests within the coastal zone. Column 3 lists the major capabilities of the agen- cies as provided by federal statute. The next five columns present information of agency capa- bility by stage and sequence of resource management. Column 4 lists the capability for carrying out surveys, research, and studies that are of a one-time nature. Column 5 lists data collec- tion responsibilities of a continuing nature. Column 6 lists capa- bility for planning both specific projects and broader comprehen- sive joint state-federal programs. Column 7 lists capability for providing technical assistance to federal, state, local and non- governmental operations. Column 8 lists capability for coordi- nation of varying interests through program review, and project regulation, evaluation or licensing. The next three columns contain information on the funding capability of the agencies. Column 9 lists capability for direct federal investment in construction of projects, purchase of land, or management of program operations. Column 10 lists capability for federal financial assistance to state-federal cooperative pro - grams. Column I I lists capability for federal financial grants to state and local programs. The index contains major federal activities by listing specific projects by agency; location by county, town, or geographical identity; status including the sequence and stage of project development; and 'federal share including the total dollar amount if known or the percentage of federal financial responsi- bility if dollar figures are not available. The index is an exten- sion of Column 2 of the table on Federal Interest and Capability. The matrix on federal expenditures within the Maine coas- tal zone lists expenditures for each federal agency both for each coastal county and for the total coastal zone. It also compares expenditures in the Maine coastal counties to those throughout Maine; and compares federal expenditures in Maine to those in other states. It is emphasized that this matrix focuses on the coastal counties, whereas the Maine Coastal Development Plan focuses on the smaller area of the coastal municipalities bordering tidewater. Despite this difference in scale, the matrix should give a sense of federal priorities within the coastal zone. Federal, state, local, and no n- governmental decision makers should find this report to be a comprehensive source of information on the direct and indirect interests and capabilities of the federal government for assisting in the management of coastal zone re- sources.
