appropriated for development grants, and likewise for a minimum 

 of one percentum for any single state. It goes without saying that 

 this minimum percentum applies only when the state elects to partici- 

 pate under the program. The conferees also agreed to extend the 

 program through June 30, 1977, in view of the fact that the initial 

 actions under the program may be slow in some states due to the 

 necessity for changing state laws in order that the state may be 

 eligible under the title. 



The conferees agreed not to include a provision which would 

 authorize direct grants to political subdivisions of states pending the 

 adoption of a statewide program, concluding that individual situ- 

 ations which were alluded to, such as the Anchorage plan in the State 

 of Alaska and bicounty plans in the State of New York, can be 

 taken care of by the provisions of section 306(h). The conferees also 

 agreed to exclude a similar provision which had been contained in 

 the Senate version of section 306. 



Sec. 306. The conferees accepted the Senate maximum and mini- 

 mum percentages for State administrative grants similar to those for 

 development grants in section 305. In addition, the conferees accepted 

 the two additional items required by the House in State management 

 programs, the first as to adequate consideration for the national inter- 

 ests involved in the siting of facilities representing regional or national 

 requirements, and the second relating to inclusion of procedures 

 wliereby specific areas may be set aside for certain listed purposes, in 

 each case endorsing the rationale for those inclusions as contained in 

 House Report 92-1049. 



Sec. 307. In the language adopted for Interagency Coordination 

 and Cooperation, the conferees agreed that the Secretary must co- 

 ordinate his activities under this title with all other interested Federal 

 agencies and may not approve State programs until the views of those 

 agencies have been considered. They also agreed that as to Federal 

 agencies involved in any activities directly affecting the State coastal 

 zone and any Federal participation in development projects in the 

 coastal zone, the Federal agencies must make certain that their activi- 

 ties are to the maximum extent practicable consistent with approved 

 State management programs. In addition, similar consideration of 

 State management programs must be given in the process of issuing 

 Federal licenses or permits for activities affecting State coastal zones. 

 The conferees also adopted language which would make certain that 

 there is no intent in this legislation to change Federal or State jurisdic- 

 tions or rights in specified fields, including submerged lands. 



The conferees adopted the Senate provisions making it clear that 

 water and air pollution control requirements established by Federal 

 Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, or the Clean Air Act, as 

 amended, shall be included as a part of the State coastal zone program. 

 Finally, the conferees adopted language making it clear that the 

 Secretary of the Interior or such other Secretary or Federal official as 

 may be designated in national land use legislation, must concur in 

 any State coastal zone program requirements relating to land use, 

 before those requirements may be approved by the Secretary. 



Sec. 312. The conferees agreed to delete the provisions of the House 

 version relating to extcntion of estuarine sanctuaries, in view of the
