Allotments
The
CIAP Technical Documentation
(242 KB PDF) of the
Methodology for Allocation Formulas is organized into five
sections. Section 1 describes the statutory language and
data sources referred to in determining the eligible
recipients under the CIAP. Section 2 offers an overview of
how the statutory language was interpreted and translated
into a methodology and supporting calculations. Section 3
provides details for each of the data sources used in the
calculations. Section 4 provides detailed explanations of
the spatial calculations used to determine the minimum
distance from each leased tract to each producing State and
coastal political subdivision (CPS), and the length of the
coastline of each CPS. Section 5 specifies the formulas
developed to determine the final allocations to each
recipient.
