An approved subregional NCCP plan will supersede the interim designation of potential long-term conservation value and the interim 5% CSS loss limit will no longer apply. Implementation of an explicit subregional plan will allow long-term economic interests to be served. Inherent in the NCCP is resolution of technical and implementation issues to allow specification of long-term conservation programs. The final subregional NCCP may provide for development of lands initially designated as having potential long-term conservation value if it is later determined that actual long-term conservation value is lower. Conversely, lands originally thought to be of lower value may be determined to be valuable in final conservation plans. This consideration is one of many that support a conservative interim loss ceiling.
