SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda for a

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Turner, Designated Federal
Officer, Ocean Exploration Advisory Board, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e18580978885cf9594938f8493a18f8e8080cf868e97"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e18580978885cf9594938f8493a18f8e8080cf868e97">[email protected]</span></a> or (859) 327-9661.
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 receive an overview of
Ocean Exploration operations and information about NOAA's Ocean
Exploration Cooperative Institute; receive an update on the status of a
dedicated ocean exploration vessel; and learn about collateral duties.
The board will discuss and deliberate on the topics. 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 via remote access.
