(4) The public notice procedures to be used for certifications submitted for Federal License and permit activities and, where appropriate, for OCS plans (see 15 CFR 930.61 through 930.62 and 930.78 ).
(b) Beyond the minimum requirements contained in paragraph (a) of this section, States have the option of including:
