 pacts. Such agreement or compact shall be binding and obligatory upon any 

 State or party thereto without further approval by Congress. 



"(c) Each executive instrumentality which is established by an interstate 

 agreement or compact pursuant to this section is encouraged to establish a 

 Federal-State consultation procedure for the identification, examination, and 

 cooperative resolution of mutual problems with respect to the marine and 

 coastal areas which affect, directly or indirectly, the applicable coastal zone.
