(a)Upon receipt of a completed LWRP the secretary shall circulate the program to such parties as the secretary shall deem appropriate, which parties shall include:
(1)every State agency (as defined in article 42 of the Executive Law) with programs identified in the submitted LWRP as having the potential to affect the achievement of that LWRP;
(2)any adjacent local government with contiguous coastal or inland waterway area;
(3)the county wherein the LWRP area is situated; and
(4)the regional planning board, if any, wherein the LWRP area is situated.
(b)All parties shall have 60 days for review and comment before the Secretary can render a decision as to the approvability of such LWRP.
(c)
(1)Major amendments to any approved LWRP, such as a substantial alteration in the coastal area boundary, or of applicable coastal policies, shall be reviewed in the same manner as any original LWRP.
(2)Minor amendments to any approved LWRP, such as updates which reflect changing characteristics of the community, incorporation into the LWRP of policies contained in the State Coastal Management Program, or adoption of local laws or ordinances which further implement the LWRP, shall be subject to a 21-day period for review and comment by all parties before the secretary may render a decision on approvability of the amendment.
(d)Notice of disapproval by the secretary shall be issued in writing and shall include findings with respect to the criteria which the LWRP fails to meet. Disapproval of a LWRP shall be without prejudice and any local government may resubmit a LWRP without regard to prior disapprovals.
