PURSUANT to 15 CFR 923.84(b), the New York State Department of State (DOS) has submitted a Routine Program Change to the federal Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). The change to the New York State Coastal Management Program (CMP) covered by this request is the incorporation of an amendment to the Village of Ossining Local Waterfront Revitalization Program into the State's CMP.

A major component of the State's CMP is the provision that local governments be allowed to prepare and amend Local Waterfront Revitalization Programs (LWRP), which further detail and make geographically specific the State's coastal policies. Each LWRP is reviewed for consistency with the State's CMP and approved if it meets the guidelines established in the State CMP and Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law.

The Village of Ossining LWRP is a locally prepared comprehensive land and water use plan for the natural, public, and developed resources along its Hudson River and Croton River waterfronts. The Department of State considers this a minor amendment to the Village's LWRP, previously approved by the New York State Secretary of State on July 11, 1991 and subsequently incorporated into the New York State CMP on June 8, 1993.

The Village prepared the amendment to the LWRP in partnership with DOS and in accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State CMP. The amendment refines the description of existing and proposed land uses in several areas of the Waterfront Revitalization Area to coincide with zoning amendments adopted by the Village to promote a better mix of uses along the waterfront and new proposed waterfront projects. The draft amendment to the Village of Ossining LWRP was circulated to potentially affected State, federal, and regional agencies during a 21-day review period from November 10th to December 3rd, 2010.

Following this review period, the Department of State coordinated responses to comments received with the Village of Ossining, none of which required revisions to the draft. The Ossining Board of Trustees then adopted the amended LWRP on March 15, 2011, which was subsequently approved by the New York State Secretary of State on October 25, 2011, pursuant to the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act (NYS Executive Law, Article 42). The approved Village of Ossining amended LWRP is available online, at http://nyswaterfronts.com/LWRP.asp.

Any comments on whether or not the action constitutes a Routine Program Change to the State's approved Coastal Management Program should be submitted by December 9, 2011 to: John King, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, Coastal Programs Division, SSMC4, N/ORM3, 1305 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

Further information on this Routine Program Change may be obtained from: Kevin Millington, Office of Communities and Waterfronts, Department of State, 99 Washington Ave., Suite 1010, Albany, NY 12231-0001, (518) 473-2479
