The Coastal Barrier Resources Act, as amended (CBRA), designates 585 units of undeveloped coastal lands and aquatic habitat as the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS). CBRA prohibits most federal expenditures and assistance within the system that could encourage development, but it allows federal agencies to provide some types of assistance and issue certain regulatory permits. In 1992, GAO reported that development was occurring in the CBRS despite restrictions on federal assistance. GAO updated its 1992 report and reviewed the extent to which (1) development has occurred in CBRS units since their inclusion in the system and (2) federal financial assistance and permits have been provided to entities in CBRS units. GAO electronically mapped address data for structures within 91 randomly selected CBRS units and collected information on federal financial assistance and permits for eight federal agencies. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-356/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-356.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-356/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-356.pdf GAO-07-356 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-356 Other Written Product GAO-07-356; Coastal Barrier Resources System: Status of Development That Has Occurred and Financial Assistance Provided by Federal Agencies; Coastal zone management Conservation programs Disaster relief aid Erroneous payments Federal regulations Federal/state relations Government guaranteed loans Housing programs Insurance Land management Property Policies and procedures Coastal Barrier Resources System Volume 114 Page 2394 114 Stat. 2394 Volume 120 Page 381 120 Stat. 381 Public Law 106-514 Public Law 109-226
