No Spy Tower in Big Sur

All,
This morning (9/14/2020) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) withdrew its negative determination (ND-0011-20) for deployment of a portable temporary tower surveillance system at Lucia Ranch, Big Sur, Monterey County. CBP has decided not to pursue implementation of this project at Lucia Ranch. As a result, this negative determination and the associated public hearing has been withdrawn from the Coastal Commission’s October 2020 meeting agenda. 
You may contact me at the email address below should you have any questions regarding this matter. Best regards,

Larry SimonManager, Federal Consistency UnitEnergy, Ocean Resources and   Federal Consistency DivisionCalifornia Coastal Commission
