and (5) describe the extent and magnitude of onshore support 

 and operation facilities and their social, economic, and 

 environmental impacts on the Oregon coast. 11 * 

 The LCDC's future role in OCS management may diminish, however. The 

 LCDC has recommended to Governor Straub that a new OCS office be established 

 within the Office of the Governor to assume principal responsibility for 

 OCS-related matters. 



Finally, Oregon will probably have a Federally approved coastal 

 management program prior to OCS leasing adjacent to its coast. The 

 state is well advanced in its coastal program and a draft EIS proposing 

 Federal approval of its program was issued in February of 1976. Once 

 Oregon's program is approved, the federal consistency provisions of the 

 1972 Coastal Zone Management Act will go into effect which may provide 

 added leverage for the state in managing OCS development.
