SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Secretary of Commerce established MCAM in November 2022, to 
advise the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere (Under 
Secretary) on science-based approaches to area-based protection, 
conservation, restoration, and management in coastal and marine areas, 
including the Great Lakes. The scope of MCAM's advice includes, but is 
not limited to, efforts consistent with the America the Beautiful 
initiative, called for by section 216(a) of Executive Order 14008 on 
Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, as well as other 
relevant issues that may be requested by the Under Secretary. The 
MCAM's charter must be renewed every two years from the date of the 
last renewal.

II. Charter Renewal

    In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended 
(FACA; 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), the Secretary of Commerce has determined 
that the renewal of the charter for MCAM is in the public interest. The 
MCAM will function solely as an advisory body and in compliance with 
provisions of FACA. Copies of the MCAM's revised charter have been 
filed with the appropriate committees of the Congress and with the 
Library of Congress. The charter can be accessed online at <a href="https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/ocean/marine-coastal-fac./">https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/ocean/marine-coastal-fac./</a>

Designated Federal Official, Marine and Coastal Area-based Management 
Advisory Committee; Director, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries,
