Support and Coordination for Comprehensive Planning

All agencies, departments, boards, commissions and other instrumentalities of the government of Guam shall review their present statutory authority, administrative regulations and current planning policies and procedures to determine whether there is any duplication, any deficiencies or inconsistencies therein which prohibit or tend to prohibit integration, coordination and compliance with respect to the purposes and provisions of this Chapter and shall thereafter propose to the Bureau at a date determined by the Bureau such measures as may be necessary to bring their planning authority functions and programs into conformity with the intent, purposes, and procedures set forth in this Chapter. All master plans, development plans, long-range plans, and the like prepared by public agencies shall be submitted to the Bureau for processing as part of the comprehensive planning program. Emphasis will be placed on the continuing nature of the comprehensive plan program rather than a final completion of a single plan. The Bureau may assign, with concurrence of the director or other head of the agency involved, planning staff or portions thereof of staff or line agencies who shall prepare portions of the plan under the supervision of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans.
