SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The webinar advance registration is at:
<a href="https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4379173811123072784">https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4379173811123072784</a>. The HSRP
meeting agenda, draft meeting documents, presentations, and background
materials are posted and updated online which can be downloaded prior
to the meeting at: <a href="https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/hsrp.html">https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/hsrp.html</a>
and <a href="https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/meetings.html">https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/meetings.html</a>.
The agenda, speakers, and time are subject to change; please refer
to these websites for the most updated information. Past HSRP
recommendation letters, issue and position papers are located online
at: <a href="https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/recommendations.html">https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/hsrp/recommendations.html</a>.
Public comments are encouraged and requested in advance and during
the meeting on the navigation, observations, and positioning data,
products, and services for NOS' Center for Operational Oceanographic
Products and Services, National Geodetic Survey, Office of Coast
Survey, and the University of New Hampshire's and NOAA's Joint
Hydrographic Center (JHC) and the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping.
Written statements received in advance of the meeting will be shared
with the HSRP members, on the meeting website, and in the meeting
public record. Due to the condensed nature of the meeting, each
individual or group providing public comments will be limited to one
comment of three minutes per public comment period with no repetition
of previous comments. Comments can also be submitted in writing during
the public comment portion of the webinar. Comments will be read into
the record as time allows as well as transcribed and become part of the
meeting record. Due to time constraints, all comments may not be
addressed during the meeting.
The HSRP is a Federal Advisory Committee established to advise the
Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, the NOAA
Administrator, on matters related to the responsibilities and
authorities set forth in section 303 of the Hydrographic Services
Improvement Act of 1998, as amended, and such other appropriate matters
that the Under Secretary refers to the Panel for review and advice.
Matters To Be Considered
The panel is convening on issues relevant to NOAA's navigation,
observations and positioning services and suggestions for improvements,
including: Data sharing and data licensing especially for bathymetry to
use for ocean mapping, charts, modeling, and other NOAA products;
bridge heights, datums, and air gap sensors to address safe navigation
and the possible technology solutions from the transition to the new
National Spatial Reference System (NSRS); and a discussion about the
changes to raster paper charts and the improvements to Electronic
Navigational Charts (ENC). HSRP regularly discusses stakeholder use of
NOAA's navigation, observations and positioning data, products and
services, and topics related to hydrographic surveys, nautical
charting, coastal shoreline and ocean mapping, the NSRS modernization
efforts, navigation services contributions to resilience and coastal
data and information systems to support planning for resilience to
climate change and sea level rise, contributions to the blue economy,
coastal and ocean modeling and remote sensing, PORTS[supreg] (Physical
Oceanographic Real-Time System) sensor enhancements and expansion,
Precision Marine Navigation, the transition from raster paper charts to
ENC, the scientific mapping and technology research projects of the
cooperative agreements between NOAA and partners at the University of
New Hampshire and the University of Southern Florida, and other topics.
The meeting may include an update on the plans to address and implement
two ocean and coastal mapping strategies--
[[Page 8801]]
the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy (ACMS) and the ``Establishing a
National Strategy for Mapping, Exploring, and Characterizing the U.S.
EEZ'' (NOMEC), including the Standard Ocean Mapping Protocol (SOMP).
Navigation services include the data, products, and services provided
by the NOAA programs and activities that undertake geodetic
observations, gravity modeling, coastal and shoreline mapping,
bathymetric mapping and modeling, hydrographic surveying, nautical
charting, tide and water level observations, current observations,
flooding, resilience, inundation and sea level rise, marine and coastal
modeling, geospatial and LIDAR data, and related data and topics. This
suite of NOAA products and services support safe and efficient
navigation, the blue economy, resilient coasts and communities, and the
nationwide positioning information infrastructure to support America's
climate needs and commerce. The Panel will hear about the missions and
uses of NOAA's navigation, observations and positioning services, the
value these services bring, and what improvements could be made. Other
matters may be considered.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities and there
will be sign language interpretation. Please direct requests for other
auxiliary aids to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4f022a232e21262a610c20232e213b3a21200f21202e2e61282039"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="44092128252a2d216a072b28252a30312a2b042a2b25256a232b32">[email protected]</span></a> at least 10 business days
