 program for the land and water resources of its coastal zone. 



"(b) Such management program shall include : 



"(1) an identification of the boundaries of the portions of the coastal state 

 subject to the management program ; 



"(2) a definition of what shall constitute permissible land and water uses; 



"(3) an inventory and designation of areas of particular concern; 



"(4) an identification of the means by which the state proposes to exert con- 

 trol over land and waters uses, including a listing of relevant constitutional 

 provisions, legislative enactments, regulations, and judicial decisions ;

 cifically those uses of lowest priority ;

 management program, including the responsibilities and interrelationships of 

 local area-wide, state, regional, and interstate agencies in the management 

 process. 



"(c) The grants shall not exceed 66% per centum of the costs of the program, 

 in any one year. Federal funds received from other sources shall not be used to 

 match the grants. In order to qualify for grants under this subsection, the 

 state must reasonably demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Secretary that suchi 

 grants will be used to develop a management program consistent with the 

 requirements set forth in section 306 of this title. Successive grants may be made

 shall be made under this subsection unless the Secretary finds that the state is 

 satisfactorily developing such management program. 



"(d) Upon completion of the development of the state's management program, 

 the state shall submit such program to the Secretary for review and approval 

 pursuant to the provisions of section 306 of this title, or such other action as 

 he deems necessary. On final approval of such program by the Secretary, the 

 state's eligibility for further grants under this section shall terminate, and the 

 state shall be eligible for grants under section 306 of this title. 



"(e) Grants under this section shall be allocated to the states based on rules 

 and regulations promulgated by the Secretary : Provided, however, That no man- 

 agement program development grant under this section shall be made in excess 

 of 15 per centum of the total amount appropriated to carry out the purposes 

 of this section.

 for which they were first authorized to be obligated by the state, or during the 

 fiscal year immediately following, shall revert to the Secretary, and shall be 

 added by him to the funds available for grants under this section. 



"(g) With the approval of the Secretary, the state may allocate to a local 

 government, to an areawide agency designated under section 204 of the Demon- 

 stration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 19G6. to a regional agency 

 or to an interstate agency, a portion of the grant under this section, for the pur- 

 pose of carrying out the provisions of this section.

 30, 1975.
