<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices
has renewed the charter for the Science
Advisory Board (SAB) for a 2-year
period, through August 9, 2007. The
SAB is a federal advisory committee
under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (Pub. L. 92–463).
DATES:
Renewed through August 9,
2007.
The
charter has evolved since the SAB’s
inception in 1997 so as to accurately
describe the SAB’s purpose,
membership, and administrative
provisions. To more fully align the
charter with the current state of the SAB
and NOAA, the renewal charter has
been modified as follows: (1) The first
Objective has been changed to: ‘‘The
SAB will advise the Under Secretary of
Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere
on strategies for research, education,
and application of science to operations
and information services, so as to better
understand and predict changes in the
Earth’s environment and conserve and
manage coastal and marine resources to
meet the Nation’s economic, social, and
environmental needs.’’ This change
aligns the charter with NOAA’s mission
statement. (2) The SAB’s Objectives and
Duties now authorize the SAB to
conduct NOAA Cooperative Institute
reviews, in addition to those of NOAA
laboratories and programs. (3) The
Administrative Provisions have been
modified to clarify that the SAB reports
only to the Under Secretary, and so
strengthens its senior advisory role
within NOAA. (4) The Administrative
Provisions have also been modified to
clarify that, when deemed appropriate,
the SAB can choose to appoint NOAA
employees to task forces and working
groups.

0.2 hours) to gather the necessary
information, prepare the form, and
submit a completed request involving a
power of attorney, correspondence
address, or Customer Number. The

request instead of filing separate
requests for each patent or application.
