SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract This request is for a new information collection.
NOAAs Office for Coastal Management OCM and its regional, state, federal, and non-profit partners have worked closely with coastal managers across the country to increase the resilience of our coastal communities, economies, and ecosystems. Per the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 CZMA, OCM
provides financial and technical assistance to states and territories, including that which helps its customers coastal managers develop hazard mitigation and climate adaptation plans that include strategies for short-term responses to immediate threats e.g., flooding, hurricanes as well as long-term responses to gradual changes e.g., sea level rise, drought.
Services are provided through outreach, training, funding, resource, and tool development.
Solutions to these resilience challenges are often complex and crosssectoral. Therefore, coastal decisionmakers regularly point to the need for more substantial, coordinated, sustained and creative funding opportunities to support these efforts. The results of an initial review of more than 200
resources that NOAA conducted in support of this effort, and informal conversations with NOAA customers and other stakeholders indicate that there is no comprehensive inventory or guide to understanding and selecting appropriate funding options or financing strategies. These findings have been further confirmed in subsequent informal discussions with coastal resilience and finance practitioners at national venues such as the National

Adaptation Forum in April 2019 and Social Coast Forum in February 2020.
NOAAs coastal management partners have requested support on this topic.
The financing world is one that is constantly evolving new products and retiring others. The range of funding and financing options, from grants and lowinterest loans to more innovative private-public partnerships and emerging bonds, presents an everchanging and complex array of choices.
In initial internal communications and informal discussions conducted between June 2018 and February 2020, NOAA customers indicated that these opportunities and mechanisms are not well understood, and are generally inaccessible to coastal managers, particularly in small to mid-sized communities, rural areas, and tribal communities.
In many coastal communities, investment in mitigation and resilience measures remains either limited or reactive in response to a catastrophic event. While there are no data on the number of adaptations plans that have been implemented, lack of funding is a frequently cited barrier to implementation. At the same time, it has been estimated that investing in mitigation can save communities $6 for every $1 spent through mitigation grants from agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Economic Development Administration according to the National Institute of Building Sciences October 2018 report, Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: Utilities and Transportation Infrastructure.
Understanding the suite of funding and financing options available at the time resilience planning is undertaken, and then incorporating financial strategies into the planning process and recommendations, will help ensure that these plans are implemented. Section 310 of the Coastal Zone Management Act allows for technical assistance and management-oriented research to develop and implement state coastal management program amendments.
NOAA is in the process of developing a needs assessment to define the types of funding, financing mechanisms, and associated resources that its state and local coastal manager customers need for coastal resilience activities and a market analysis of existing funding and financing programs and mechanisms.
Simultaneously, NOAA is identifying existing resources and partnership opportunities for state and local coastal managers and NOAAs non-profit, academic, and other customers.
