SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The OEAB advises NOAA leadership on

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.

public may listen to the meeting and
provide comments during the public
comment period via teleconference.

Officer must receive written comments
