Energy related developments since 1973 have resulted in increasing pressure on coastal states for (1) offshore exploration, (2) deep water terminals for supertankers, and (3) facilities to handle imported natural gas. The amended Bill provides authorization and financial assistance to the affected states for planning and controlling environmental and economic impacts. The Federal Energy Development Impact Assistance Fund will underwrite grants, loans, and loan guarantees to the states. The Bill is felt to provide a good balance of state and local rights with national needs to provide future resources by appropriate development and conservation programs. Islands and the Outer Continental Shelf are included in the amended bill. Appropriations for 1975 were $12 million. (DCK)
