SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 2, 2014, Pedro J. Bonilla, 
representing Cangrejos Yacht Club (CYC), filed notice of an appeal with 
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), pursuant to the Coastal Zone 
Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and implementing 
regulations found at 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart H. The appeal is taken 
from an objection by the Puerto Rico Planning Board (PRPB) to CYC's 
certification of consistency of a proposed dredging project in the Boca 
de Cangrejos Channel in Carolina, Puerto Rico. The certification 
indicates that the project is consistent with Puerto Rico's Coastal 
Management Program. The project would affect the natural resources or 
land and water uses of Maryland's coastal zone. Notice of the appeal 
was published on March 12, 2014.
    The CZMA requires that a notice be published in the Federal 
Register indicating the date on which the decision record has been 
closed. 16 U.S.C. 1465(b)(2). The decision record is to be closed 
within 160 days of the notice of the appeal; however, the Secretary of 
Commerce may stay the closure of the record, for a period not to exceed 
60 days. 15 CFR 930.130(a). The Secretary must issue a decision no 
later than 60 days after closure of the decision record. 15 CFR 
930.130(b).
    Additional information about the Cangrejos Yacht Club appeal and 
the CZMA appeals process is available from the NOAA General Counsel 
CZMA appeals Web site: http://coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/consistency/fcappealdecisions.html.
