# §930.152. Application.

- (a) This subpart applies to federal actions having interstate coastal effects, and supplements the relevant requirements contained in [15 CFR part 930](/cfr/15/part930.md), [subparts C](/cfr/15/subpartC.md) (Consistency for Federal Agency Activities), D (Consistency for Activities Requiring a Federal License or Permit), E (Consistency for OCS Exploration, Development and Production Activities) and F (Consistency for Federal Assistance to State and Local Governments). Except as otherwise provided by this subpart, the requirements of other relevant subparts of [part 930](/cfr/15/part930.md) apply to activities having interstate coastal effects.
- (b) Federal consistency is a requirement on federal actions affecting any coastal use or resource of a State with a federally-approved management program, regardless of the activities' locations (including States without a federally approved management program). The federal consistency requirement does not alter a coastal State's jurisdiction. The federal consistency requirement does not give States the authority to review the application of laws, regulations, or policies of any other State. Rather, the Act allows a management program to review federal actions and may preclude federal action as a result of a State objection, even if the objecting State is not the State in which the activity will occur. Such objections to interstate activities under subparts [D](/cfr/15/subpartD.md), [E](/cfr/15/subpartE.md) and F may be overridden by the Secretary pursuant to [subpart H](/cfr/15/subpartH.md) of this part.
