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
