Coordinated Review • Office of Project Management and Permitting – Unique to the State of Alaska • Coordinated projects include: – Oil and Gas – Mining – Renewable energy – Federal planning – Transportation • Assures that agency speak to each other and consider each agencies perspective when making decisions • Gives the State one voice

Coordination Goals • Establish communication protocols between State agencies, the public, applicant, feds, and other stakeholders • Eliminate shot gun approach • Make sure that each agency is making decisions using the same and most current information • Make sure each agency is aware of project activities and review processes • Reduce impacts by identifying and understanding agency needs & requirements early on in the process allowing applicants to propose a project that considers those needs in the early stages of design • Projects, if constructed, are better designed to consider all agency needs early on in the process
