Request for Public Comment on the
Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy
Implementation Plan
AGENCY
: Office of Coast Survey (OCS),
National Ocean Service (NOS), National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Department of
Commerce (DOC).
ACTION
: Notice of public comment.
SUMMARY
: On behalf of the Alaska
Mapping Executive Committee (AMEC),
a Federal-state partnership to coordinate
the modernization of critical Alaska
map layers, NOAA requests review of
the draft Alaska Coastal Mapping
Strategy (ACMS) Implementation Plan
from all interested parties. Through this
request for information (RFI), AMEC’s
Coastal Subcommittee seeks input from
the public on the Implementation Plan
and its milestones targeted at improving
the coordination and collection of
coastal mapping in Alaska. AMEC seeks
to ensure that program implementation
is informed by and responsive to all
sectors through sustained engagement
and effective partnerships.
DATES
: Comments must be received via
email by 5 p.m. ET on January 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES
: Comments can be submitted
by email to iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov by
the January 31, 2022, deadline.
Instructions: The draft ACMS
Implementation Plan can be found at
https://iocm.noaa.gov/about/strategic-
plans.html. Response to this RFI is
voluntary. Respondents need not reply
to all questions listed. For all
submissions, clearly indicate which
questions are being answered. Email
attachments will be accepted in plain
text, Microsoft Word, or Adobe PDF
formats only. Each individual or
institution is requested to submit only
one response. NOAA requests that no
business proprietary information,
copyrighted information, or personally
identifiable information be submitted in
response to this RFI. Please note that the
U.S. Government will not pay for
response preparation, or for the use of
any information contained in the
response.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
The ACMS was completed in June
2020, in conjunction with the National
Ocean Mapping, Exploration and
Characterization Strategy (NOMEC). The
ACMS envisions an Alaska that in 2030
possesses seamless coastal mapping
data. This vision translates into near-
term goals for action, including
acquiring priority coastal mapping
datasets over the next 5 years, and the
remainder of Alaskan shoreline datasets
by 2030. Primarily focused on airborne
and satellite technologies, the four
ACMS goals are to:
(1) Build on existing mapping
partnerships to meet Alaska’s coastal
mapping needs.
(2) Expand coastal data collection to
deliver the priority geospatial products
stakeholders require.
(3) Leverage innovation in mapping
technology development.
(4) Conduct strategic communications
to promote widespread stakeholder
engagement.
The draft ACMS Implementation
Plan, now available for review, adds
detail to the goals and objectives in the
strategy. The NOMEC implementation
plan, published January 2021, describes
milestones and objectives aimed at the
completion of mapping Alaska’s waters
deeper than 40m by 2030 and those
shallower than 40m by 2040. While the
boundary line between the ACMS and
NOMEC is not exact due to varying
extinction depths of airborne
technologies, the two strategies
combined are intended to fill the
mapping gaps in Alaskan coastal and
ocean waters.
Request for Comment
This notice requests comment on the
draft ACMS Implementation Plan at
https://iocm.noaa.gov/about/strategic-
plans.html. Reviewer comments are not
limited, but questions that might be
considered while reviewing the plan
include:
(1) What does successful
implementation look like to your
organization, sector, or interest group?
How do you anticipate your
organization or sector will participate in
the ACMS implementation?
(2) What specific implementation
actions would be of value to your
organization/sector?
(3) How should the AMEC Coastal
Subcommittee appropriately engage
your organization to get ongoing
feedback throughout implementation?
(4) What activities is your
organization currently undertaking, has
recently undertaken, or is planning that
may support or benefit from ACMS
implementation? What processes and
connections would be required to
realize those opportunities?
(5) What publicly accessible databases
and archives does your organization
offer that may house data relevant to
ACMS?
(6) Who are the additional partners
that are needed to effectively plan and
execute a successful ACMS program in
the future, as well as those that can help
disseminate information from this work
to various audiences? How could
Federal agencies more effectively engage
these partners? If there are barriers to
this cooperation, please describe. Please
do not only limit your responses to
organizations that are traditionally
involved in this work, but also think
how we can engage other groups that
can make important contributions.
(7) How can ACMS and NOMEC
implementation plan activities and
milestones be aligned to most efficiently
advance the goals of both strategies?

1947, 33 U.S.C. 883e.
