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#aaeecbdcc3ce84fedfd8c4cfd8eae4e5ebeb84cdc5dc"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6f2b0e19060b413b1a1d010a1d2f21202e2e41080019">[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 discuss finalizing
recommendations they have been developing on ways to take ocean
exploration to new heights with emphasis on need for creativity,
challenging existing thinking, and pushing boundaries within the ocean
exploration field. The board will discuss and deliberate on these
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.
Please check the agenda on the OEAB website to confirm the public
comment period schedule.
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 February 20, 2024, to provide sufficient time for
OEAB review. Written comments received after February 20, 2024, will be
distributed to the OEAB but may not be reviewed prior to the meeting
date. Comments should be submitted to Designated Federal Officer
