Subpart J: Coastal Barrier Resources Act (§206.340 – §206.349)

Abstract:

Subpart J restricts federal spending that might encourage development in sensitive coastal areas protected under the CBRS. It limits PA eligibility for infrastructure located within these "no-build" zones. Grant Managers in coastal counties must verify CBRS maps before committing resources to repairs.

• Key Takeaways & Call to Action:

• CBRS Map Verification: Cross-reference all damaged facility coordinates with the official Coastal Barrier Resources System maps.
• Eligibility Exceptions: Limit expenditures in CBRS zones to life-safety measures or specific infrastructure repairs allowed by the Act.
• Environmental Consultation: Coordinate with the Fish and Wildlife Service if work is required within a protected coastal unit.
• CTA: Flag all coastal project files with a "CBRS Status Report" to ensure no federal funds are expended on prohibited development.
