NOAA may foster healthy coastal communities through partnerships, jobs,
and support; the Biden-Harris Administration's America the Beautiful

change.

IV. Exceptional Circumstances
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150, the notice for this meeting is given
fewer than 15 calendar days prior to the meeting due to exceptional
circumstances. It is imperative that the inaugural meeting of the MCAM
proceed as scheduled, as Committee members have made business plans to
attend the meeting, there is no other meeting date in a reasonable time
frame that would accommodate schedules without causing undue financial
burden, and there is an immediate business and mission need for the FAC
to convene to establish its workflows and anticipated products.
