"payments 



"Sec. 306. The method of computing and paying amounts pursuant to this 

 title shall be as follows : 



"(1) The Council shall, prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter 

 or other period prescribed by it, estimate the amount to be paid to each 

 coastal authority under the provisions of this title for such period, such 

 estimate to be based on such records of the coastal authority and informa- 

 tion furnished by it, and such other investigation, as the Council may 

 find necessary. 



"(2) The Council shall pay to the coastal authority from the allotment 

 available therefor, the amount so estimated by it for any period, reduced 

 or increased, as the case may be, by any sum (not previously adjusted under 

 this paragraph) by which it finds that its estimate of the amount to be 

 paid such coastal authority for any prior period under this title was 

 greater or less than the amount which should have been paid to such 

 coastal authority for such prior period under this title. Such payments 

 shall be made through the disbursing facilities of the Treasury Department, 

 at such times and in such installments as the Council may determine. 



"review 



"Sec. 307. Whenever the Council after reasonable notice and opportunity 

 for hearing to a coastal authority finds that — 



"(a) the program submitted by such coastal authority and approved under 

 section 304 has been so changed that it no longer complies with a require- 

 ment of such section ; or 



"(b) in the administration of the program there is a failure to comply 

 substantially with such a requirement, 

 the Council shall notify such coastal authority that no further payments will 

 be made under this title until it is satisfied that there will no longer be any 

 such failure. Until the Council is so satisfied, it shall make no further payments 

 to such coastal authority under this title. 



"Sec. 308. (a) Each recipient of a grant under this Act shall keep such 

 records as the Chairman of the Council shall prescribe, including records which 

 fully disclose the amount and disposition of the funds received under the grant, 

 and the total cost of the project or undertaking in connection with which the 

 grant was made and the amount and nature of that portion of the cost of the 

 project or undertaking supplied by other sources, and such other records as 

 will facilitate an effective audit. 



"(b) Tlie Chairman of the Council and the Comptroller General of the 

 United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives, shall have access 

 for the purpose of audit and examination to any books, documents, papers, and 

 records of the recipient of the grant that are pertinent to the determination 

 that funds granted are used in accordance with this title. 



"federal projects 



"Sec. 309. (a) All Federal agencies conducting or supporting research or 

 other activities in a coastal zone shall seek to make such activities support and 

 be consistent with the program of the appropriate coastal authority. 



"(b) Federal agencies shall not undertake any development project in a 

 coastal zone which, in the opinion of tlie appropriate coastal authority, are 

 inconsistent with the master plan of such coastal authority unless the Council, 

 after receiving detailed comments from both the Federal agency and the 

 coastal authority and investigating the proposed development project, finds tliat 

 such project is, on balance, consistent with the general objectives of this title. 



"(c) When the appropriate coastal authority approves a development project 

 of any Federal agency in the coastal zone as consistent with its master plan, 

 the Council may, upon petition of at least six of its members, review such 

 development project, and after receiving detailed comments from both the Fed- 

 eral agency and the coastal authority and investigating the proposed develop- 

 ment project, reject such development project if it finds that such project is, on 

 balance, inconsistent with the general objectives of this title. 



"(d) All Federal agencies shall include in any request for authorization or 

 funding of Federal projects in a coastal zone a statement of their relevance to 

 the plan of the appropriate coastal authority.
