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 the following topics: (1)
NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and
Research program review and other
updates; (2) the National Strategy for
Mapping, Exploring, and Characterizing
the United States Exclusive Economic
Zone; (3) ocean exploration
partnerships; (4) national ocean
exploration priorities in the Pacific; and
(5) other matters as described in the
agenda. The agenda and other meeting
materials will be made available on the
OEAB website at http://oeab.noaa.gov.
Status: The meeting will be open to
the public with a 15-minute public
comment period on Friday, October 2,
2020, from 3:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. EDT
(please check the final agenda on the
OEAB website to confirm the time). The
public may listen to the meeting and
provide comments during the public
comment period via teleconference.
Participation information will be on the
meeting agenda on the OEAB website.
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 September 28, 2020, to provide
