SUMMARY: The NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management 
(OCRM) announces its intent to evaluate the performance of the 
Pennsylvania Coastal Management Program.
    The evaluation will be conducted pursuant to section 312 of the 
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), as amended. The CZMA 
requires a continuing review of the performance of coastal states with 
respect to coastal management. Evaluation of Coastal Management 
Programs requires findings concerning the extent to which a state has 
adhered to the CMP Management Plan approved by the Secretary of 
Commerce, and adhered to the terms of financial assistance awards 
funded under the CZMA. The evaluation will include a site visit, 
consideration of public comments, and consultations with interested 
Federal, State, and local agencies and member of the public. A public 
meeting will be held as part of the site visit.
    The Pennsylvania Coastal Management Program evaluation site visit 
will be from November 14 to November 18, 1994. A public meeting will be 
held Tuesday, November 15, 1994 at 7:00 pm, at the City of Erie City 
Council Chambers, 60 State Street, Erie, Pennsylvania 16507.
    The State will issue notice of the public meeting in a local 
newspaper(s) at least 45 days prior to the public meeting, and will 
issue other timely notices as appropriate.
    Copies of the State's most recent performance reports, as well as 
OCRM's notifications and supplemental request letters to the States, 
are available upon request from OCRM. Written comments from interested 
parties regarding this program are encouraged and will be accepted 
until 15 days after the site visit. Please direct written comments to 
Vickie A. Allin, Chief, Policy Coordination Division, Office of Ocean 
and Coastal Resource Management, NOS/NOAA, 1305 East-West Highway, 
Silver Spring, Maryland 20910. When the evaluation is completed, OCRM 
will place a notice in the Federal Register announcing the availability 
of the Final Evaluation Findings.
