Community Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CCIAP)

The Federal Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) authorizes funds to be distributed to Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas producing states to mitigate the impacts of OCS oil and gas activities. The State of Alaska is a recipient of federal CIAP funds..

The Alaska Legislature appropriated approximately one-half of the State of Alaska’s CIAP funds to the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development (DCCED) for capital project grants to named recipient jurisdictions, and to publicly-solicited applicants. The Division of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA) administers DCCED’s CIAP funds as the Community Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CCIAP), to distinguish from the appropriations to the Departments of Natural Resources and Fish and Game, for the community-based focus of DCRA’s programs.

The CCIAP comprises two programs established by appropriations of Alaska's 26th Legislature to DCCED:

  1. THE PUBLIC SOLICITATION PROGRAM, through which a portion of the State of Alaska's Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) funding has been allocated for capital projects solicited competitively from the public; and
  2. THE NAMED RECIPIENT PROGRAM, through which a portion of the State of Alaska's CIAP funds have been allocated for Legislatively-named municipalities and designees of former Coastal Resource Service Areas.

Technical assistance is available to all CCIAP grantees for project management, planning, and grant administration.
