development of the land and water resources of the Nation's coastal 

 zone, and for other purposes." 



The bill would amended the act entitled '*An Act to provide for a 

 comprehensive, long-range, and coordinated national program in 

 marine science, to establish a National Counicl on Marine Resources 

 and Engineering Development, and a Commision on Marine Science, 

 Engineering and Resources, and for other purposes," by adding to 

 the end thereof the following new titles : title III, Coastal Zone Man- 

 agement Act of 1971" ; and title IV, "Marine Sanctuary Act of 1971." 



It is estimated that initially the annual cost of administering H.R. 

 14146, if enacted, would be $2,8-30,000 with 89 employees, consisting of 

 62 professional and 27 secretarial. The cost is based on the following 

 breakdown: (1) salaries of staff, $1,740,000; (2) benefits of staff and 

 overhead, $490,000; (3) travel of staff, $100,000; (4) contract funds, 

 $400,000; and (5) advisory committee per diem and travel, $100,000. 

 In the absence of information indicating otherwise, we would assume 

 level funding for the first several years of this program. 



It is anticipated that the professional employees would include but 

 not be limited to attorneys, ecologists, geologists, economists, social 

 scientists, contract specialists, coastal zone planners, and systems 

 analysts. 



The amount requried for administration of title IV, the "Marine 

 Sanctuary" portion of the bill is not separately broken out because it 

 is expected that the nucleus of personnel required under provisions of 

 the major portion of the bill, title III, will also be required under 

 the marine sanctuary portions. 



We have been advised by the Office of Management and Budget that 

 there would be no objection to the submission of this report from the 

 standpoint of the administration's program. 

 Sincerely, 



Karl E. Bakke, 

 Deputy General Coimml.
