 Dear Mr. Chairman:       0

      On May 16, 1980, a bill-- .R. 6979 796th Congress) to
 improve coastal management in the Unite States and for other
 purposes, was reported with an amendment by your committee.
 The bill contains a General Accounting Office auditing
 and reporting requirement which we believe is unnecessary
 and undesirable.,

    \-Section 12 of the bill would established a process for
 congressional disapproval of final rules promulgated by the
 Secretary of Commerce pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management
 Act of 1972 (U.S.C. 1450 et seq.). This provision would
 take effect on the date of enactment of the bill and expire
 on September 30, 1988. Subsection 12(e),would provide that:

      (e)(1) The Comptroller General shall prepare a report
      which examines the review of the Secretary's rules under
      this section., Such report shall--.-__

          A. list the final rules submitted to the Congress
              by the Secretary during the period in which this
              section is in effect;

          B. list the final rules disapproved by the Congress
              under subsection (a)(2);

          C. specify the number of instances in which the
              Secretary promulgates a final rule in accordance
              with subsection (c); and

          D. include an analysis of any impact which the
              provisions of this section-have had upon the
              decisionmaking and rulemaking processes of the
              Secretary.
