Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 125 / Friday, June 29, 2007 / Notices
Ocean Action Plan (OAP), shall also
serve as the National Ocean Research
Leadership Council (NORLC)
established by the National
Oceanographic Partnership Program
(NOPP); and all actions taken by the
ICOSRMI related to the NOPP shall be
deemed actions of the NORLC, unless
otherwise expressly stated by the
ICOSRMI in writing. The intent of this
action is to maintain the interagency
progress made through NOPP, thus
building on a decade of experience
made possible through the program,
while avoiding duplication of effort
with the new governance structure of
the OAP. NORLC and the other NOPP
committees are now conducting
business as their functionally equivalent
OAP bodies. This action will align,
simplify and strengthen the Federal
ocean governance structures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Ocean Research Leadership
Council
The FY 1997 Defense Authorization
Act (Public Law 104–201) directed the
Secretary of the Navy to establish the
National Oceanographic Partnership
Program (NOPP, https://www.nopp.org).
Supplemental legislation for
appointments to the NOPP oversight
body, the National Ocean Research
Leadership Council (NORLC), and to the
Ocean Research Advisory Panel is
contained in Public Law 105–85, the FY
1998 Defense Authorization Act. The
NOPP promotes the goals of assuring
national security, advancing economic
development, protecting quality of life,
and strengthening science education
and communication through improved
knowledge of the ocean. The NORLC,
comprising leaders of fifteen Federal
agencies, guides NOPP in identifying
and carrying out partnerships among
Federal agencies, industry, and other
members of the ocean sciences
community in support of those goals.

The Ocean Action Plan Ocean
Governance Structure
In September 2004, the U.S.
Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP)
completed its report, ‘‘An Ocean
Blueprint for the 21st Century.’’ In
December 2004, the President submitted
to Congress his formal response, the
U.S. Ocean Action Plan (OAP) (https://
ocean.ceq.gov/actionplan.pdf), which
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
outlines a new ocean governance
structure to: (1) Coordinate the activities
of executive departments and agencies
regarding ocean-related matters in an
integrated and effective manner to
advance the environmental, economic,
and security interests of present and
future generations of Americans; and (2)
Facilitate, as appropriate, coordination
and consultation regarding oceanrelated matters among Federal, State,
Tribal, and local governments, the
private sector, foreign governments, and
international organizations.
On December 17, 2004, President
Bush established by Executive Order
13366 a Cabinet-level Committee on
Ocean Policy to coordinate the activities
of executive branch departments and
agencies regarding ocean-related matters
in an integrated and effective manner to
advance the environmental and
economic interests of present and future
generations of Americans.
As detailed in the U.S. Ocean Action
Plan, to help support its work, the
Committee on Ocean Policy established
the Interagency Committee on Ocean
Science and Resource Management
Integration (ICOSRMI) co-chaired by the
Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP) Associate Director for Science
and the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) Chief of Staff, who report
directly to the Chair of the Committee
on Ocean Policy. The members consist
of Under/Assistant Secretaries or their
equivalents from the Executive branch
agencies and departments of the
Committee on Ocean Policy. The
functions of ICOSRMI include: (1)
Facilitate and coordinate the work of
existing ocean and coastal interagency
groups focused on the management of
living and nonliving marine resources;
(2) recommend the creation of new
topical task forces as needed; (3)
coordinate with government-wide
environmental and natural resource
efforts that have important ocean
components; (4) identify opportunities
for improvements in the application of
science for ecosystem-based
management of ocean resources; (5)
identify priority research needs that can
enhance management capabilities; (6)
facilitate use of ocean science and
technology, including ocean
observations, in the implementation of
ocean and coastal management and
policies; (7) recommend assessments
and analyses of Federal ocean resource
management initiatives; (8) identify
opportunities and articulate priorities
for enhancing ocean education,
outreach, and capacity building; and (9)
identify opportunities for the promotion
of international collaboration in ocean
resource management. ICOSRMI

incorporates the National Ocean
Research Leadership Council’s (NORLC)
current mandate within its broader
mandate that includes ocean resource
management. (https://ocean.ceq.gov/
about/icosrmi.html).
Since January 2005, the
Administration has worked actively
with Federal agencies to establish the
new ocean governance structure and
link existing groups with new entities.
The functions of NORLC have
transitioned to this new OAP structure
in order to align, simplify and
strengthen the Federal ocean
governance.
