(a) Below Thresholds. If a proposed activity requiring a state agency or subdivision action falls below thresholds for referral approved under Chapter 29, Subchapter B of this title (relating to Commissioner Certification of State Agency Rules and Approval of Thresholds for Referral) and requires an equivalent federal permit or license under this chapter, the GLO may only determine the state agency or subdivision action's consistency by using the process provided in Chapter 29 of this title (relating to Commissioner Procedure for State Consistency with Coastal Management Program Goals and Policies). The GLO's determination regarding the consistency of an action under this subsection constitutes the state's determination regarding consistency of the equivalent federal action.
(b) Above Thresholds. If an activity requiring a state agency or subdivision action is above thresholds and requires an equivalent federal permit or license, the GLO may determine the consistency of the state agency or subdivision action or the federal license or permit but may only conduct either a state or a federal consistency review, not both. Texas Natural Resource Code, §33.206(f), as amended by SB 656.
(c) Equivalent State Action or Federal Action. Determinations regarding the consistency of an action made by the GLO under §§30.60(a) and (b) constitute the state's determination regarding consistency of the equivalent agency or subdivision action or federal action. Texas Natural Resource Code, §33.206(f), as amended by SB 656.
