Federal Consistency Review While the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) is not a permitting agency, it does have the authority to review federal activities in the Massachusetts coastal zone to ensure that they are consistent with CZM program policies. Consequently, any coastal project that requires a federal license, is implemented by a federal agency, or is carried out with federal funds must be approved by CZM before the federal activity can take place. Overall, CZM's Federal Consistency Review gives the Commonwealth the power to ensure that federal actions meet state standards. The following information is designed to provide a basic explanation of the federal consistency review process, as implemented by CZM.
If, after reviewing this material, you have questions or need
additional information, please call the Project Review Coordinator at (617) 626-1050, or email CZM at czm@state.ma.us. Please specify
in the email that you have a federal consistency question.
