H.R. 1885 makes a technical adjustment to federal coastal protection maps affecting North Topsail Beach, North Carolina. The bill requires the Department of Interior to remove certain parcels from Unit L06 of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System—a federal program that restricts development on sensitive coastal areas. Specifically, any land in North Topsail Beach that is zoned by the town for non-conservation purposes as of the bill's enactment would be excluded from the protected barrier system. The change must be completed within 30 days of the bill becoming law. This adjustment affects only areas within the town of North Topsail Beach and effectively allows development or other non-conservation uses on those newly excluded parcels that were previously designated as protected coastal barriers.
