SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee was established by the NOAA
Administrator as directed by section 12304 of the Integrated Coastal
and Ocean Observation System Act, part of the Omnibus Public Land
Management Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-11), and reauthorized under the
Coordinated Ocean Observations and Research Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-
271). The Committee advises the NOAA Administrator and the Interagency
Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) on matters related to the
responsibilities and authorities set forth in section 12302 of the
Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act of 2009 and other
appropriate matters as the Under Secretary refers to the Committee for
review and advice.
The Committee will provide advice on:
(a) Administration, operation, management, and maintenance of
the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System (the System);
(b) expansion and periodic modernization and upgrade of
technology components of the System;
(c) identification of end-user communities, their needs for
information provided by the System, and the System's effectiveness
in disseminating information to end-user communities and to the
general public; and
(d) additional priorities, including--
(1) a national surface current mapping network designed to
improve fine scale sea surface mapping using high frequency radar
technology and other emerging technologies to address national
priorities, including Coast Guard search and rescue operation
planning and harmful algal bloom forecasting and detection that--
(i) is comprised of existing high frequency radar and other sea
surface current mapping infrastructure operated by national programs
and regional coastal observing systems;
(ii) incorporates new high frequency radar assets or other fine
scale sea surface mapping technology assets, and other assets needed
to fill gaps in coverage on United States coastlines; and
(iii) follows a deployment plan that prioritizes closing gaps in
high frequency radar infrastructure in the United States, starting
with areas demonstrating significant sea surface current data needs,
especially in areas where additional data will improve Coast Guard
search and rescue models;
(2) fleet acquisition for unmanned maritime systems for
deployment and data integration to fulfill the purposes of this
subtitle;
(3) an integrative survey program for application of unmanned
maritime systems to the real-time or near real-time collection and
transmission of sea floor, water column, and sea surface data on
biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and hydrography;
(4) remote sensing and data assimilation to develop new
analytical methodologies to assimilate data from the System into
hydrodynamic models;
(5) integrated, multi-State monitoring to assess sources,
movement, and fate of sediments in coastal regions;
(6) a multi-region marine sound monitoring system to be--
(i) planned in consultation with the IOOC, NOAA on, the
Department of the Navy, and academic research institutions; and
(ii) developed, installed, and operated in coordination with
NOAA, the Department of the Navy, and academic research
institutions; and
(e) any other purpose identified by the Administrator or the
Council.
Matters to be considered: The meeting will focus on (1) providing
the Committee with programmatic updates from the U.S. IOOS program and
the IOOC and (2) presentations and discussion to advance the work plan
for the Committee. The latest version of the agenda will be posted at
