**(c) Reasonable progress toward development of coastal zone management program; planning grants** The Secretary shall not issue a license unless the adjacent coastal State to which the deepwater port is to be directly connected by pipeline has developed, or is making, at the time the application is submitted, reasonable progress toward developing an approved coastal zone management program pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 [[16 U.S.C. 1451](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title16-section1451&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.] in the area to be directly and primarily impacted by land and water development in the coastal zone resulting from such deepwater port.

The Congress finds that—
**(a)** There is a national interest in the effective management, beneficial use, protection, and development of the coastal zone.
**(b)** The coastal zone is rich in a variety of natural, commercial, recreational, ecological, industrial, and esthetic resources of immediate and potential value to the present and future well-being of the Nation.
**(c)** The increasing and competing demands upon the lands and waters of our coastal zone occasioned by population growth and economic development, including requirements for industry, commerce, residential development, recreation, extraction of mineral resources and fossil fuels, transportation and navigation, waste disposal, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and other living marine resources, have resulted in the loss of living marine resources, wildlife, nutrient-rich areas, permanent and adverse changes to ecological systems, decreasing open space for public use, and shoreline erosion.
**(d)** The habitat areas of the coastal zone, and the fish, shellfish, other living marine resources, and wildlife therein, are ecologically fragile and consequently extremely vulnerable to destruction by man’s alterations.
**(e)** Important ecological, cultural, historic, and esthetic values in the coastal zone which are essential to the well-being of all citizens are being irretrievably damaged or lost.
**(f)** New and expanding demands for food, energy, minerals, defense needs, recreation, waste disposal, transportation, and industrial activities in the Great Lakes, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, and Outer Continental Shelf are placing stress on these areas and are creating the need for resolution of serious conflicts among important and competing uses and values in coastal and ocean waters; 11 So

to which its license is issued, except as provided
by subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Discrimination prohibition; exceptions
A licensee is not discriminating under this
section and is not subject to common carrier
regulations under subsection (a) of this section
when that licensee—
(1) is subject to effective competition for the
transportation of oil from alternative trans-
portation systems; and
(2) sets its rates, fees, charges, and condi-
tions of service on the basis of competition,
giving consideration to other relevant busi-
ness factors such as the market value of serv-
ices provided, licensee’s cost of operation, and
the licensee’s investment in the deepwater
port and a storage facility, and components
thereof, serviced directly by that deepwater
port.
(c) Enforcement, suspension, or termination pro-
ceedings
When the Secretary has reason to believe that
a licensee is not in compliance with this section,
