# §930.55. Availability of mediation for license or permit disputes.


In the event of a serious disagreement between a Federal and State agency regarding whether a listed or unlisted federal license or permit activity is subject to the federal consistency requirement, either party may request the OCRM mediation or Secretarial mediation services provided for in [subpart G](/cfr/15/subpartG.md) of this part; notice shall be provided to the applicant. The existence of a serious disagreement will not relieve the Federal agency from the responsibility for withholding approval of a license or permit application for an activity on an approved management program list (see [§ 930.53](/cfr/15/930.53.md)) or individually approved by the Director (see [§ 930.54](/cfr/15/930.54.md)) pending satisfaction of the requirements of this subpart. Similarly, the existence of a serious disagreement will not prevent the Federal agency from approving a license or permit activity which has not received Director approval.
