Louisiana Coastal Impact Assistance Plan - Coastal Protection and ...

II.
DESIGNATED STATE AGENCY
The Act’s CIAP provision requires that the Governor designate a State agency to
develop the Plan and represent the State in related interactions with the U.S.
Department of the Interior. Then-Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco
designated the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LDNR) to fulfill that
function. The LDNR point of contact for development and initial implementation
of the Plan was Secretary Scott A. Angelle.
On February 12, 2009, Governor Bobby Jindal designated Garret Graves,
Chairman of the Lousiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA)
or Jerome Zeringue, Deputy Executive Director of the CPRA, to serve as the
CIAP representatives for the State of Louisiana. That designation includes the
authority to certify public participation in amendments to the Coastal Impact
Assistance Plan previously approved by the MMS. Governor Jindal also
identified the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s Execution
Office (i.e., the Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration) as the designated
state agency for CIAP-related purposes.
