FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David McKinnie, Designated Federal
Officer, Ocean Exploration Advisory Board, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c8aca9bea1ace6a5aba3a1a6a6a1ad88a6a7a9a9e6afa7be"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="036762756a672d6e60686a6d6d6a66436d6c62622d646c75">[email protected]</span></a> or (206) 526-6950.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA established the OEAB under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and legislation that gives the agency
statutory authority to operate an ocean exploration program and to
coordinate a national program of ocean exploration. The OEAB advises
NOAA leadership on strategic planning, exploration priorities,
competitive ocean exploration grant programs, and other matters as the
NOAA Administrator requests.
OEAB members represent government agencies, the private sector,
academic institutions, and not-for-profit institutions involved in all
facets of ocean exploration from advanced technology to citizen
exploration.
In addition to advising NOAA leadership, NOAA expects the OEAB to
help to define and develop a national program of ocean exploration--a
network of stakeholders and partnerships advancing national priorities
for ocean exploration.
Matters To Be Considered: The OEAB will conduct a self-assessment
of its past advice to NOAA Administrators and consider how its advice
can be most useful, given current needs, to understand the deep ocean,
the state of technology, current climate priorities, and other factors.
The agenda and other meeting materials will be made available on the
OEAB website at <a href="https://oeab.noaa.gov/">https://oeab.noaa.gov/</a>.
Status: The meeting will be open to the public with a 15-minute
public comment period on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, from 3:00 p.m. to
3:15 p.m. EDT (please check the final agenda on the OEAB website to
confirm the time). The public may listen to the meeting and provide
comments during the public comment period via teleconference.
Participation information will be on the meeting agenda on the OEAB
website.
The OEAB expects that public statements at its meetings will not be
repetitive of previously submitted verbal or written statements. In
general, each individual or group making a verbal presentation will be
limited to three minutes. The Designated Federal Officer must receive
written comments by June 25, 2021, to provide sufficient time for OEAB
review. Written comments received after June 25, 2021, will be
distributed to the OEAB but may not be reviewed prior to the meeting
