What is your point? Do you think this has to do with Great Lakes and Oceans? This EO fortifies existing Coastal Zone Management Act under NOAA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, rules which have little to do with coastal zone management. CEQ oversees NEPA, National Environmental Policey Act. NEPA, by law, can require an Environmental Impact Statement for both positive and negative raimifications of a given proposed "Government Action". So when you find yourself needing a permit to put a culvert in an otherwise dry ditch to get to a private residence on private land and you ask "Where's the "Government Action" trigger, You can be told that the money borrowed for the construction is "government money" therefore you are proposing a "Government Action" [but is not borrowed money, it is from private savings] . You may then be told since you are trying to obtain a government permit that the issuance of the permit itself would require an action on the part of the government, therefore a "Government Action". How contorted or convoluted is that reasoning?

I'll agree that Executive Orders are a way around the Constitutional process. Many Presidents have used them though.
