SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Under Secretary of Commerce for
Oceans and Atmosphere has requested
the NOAA Science Advisory Board
(SAB) to provide it with timely and
expert advice and oversight of the Gulf
Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science,
Observation, Monitoring and
Technology Program, commonly known
as the NOAA RESTORE Act Science
Program. The SAB is chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
and is the only Federal Advisory
Committee with the responsibility to
advise the Under Secretary on long- and
short-range strategies for research,
education, and application of science to
resource management, and
environmental assessment and
prediction.
The SAB is forming an external panel
that will be known as the Gulf Coast
Ecosystem Restoration Science Program
Advisory Working Group (RSPAWG).
The RSPAWG shall provide
independent guidance and review of the
RESTORE Act Science Program along
with general programmatic advice and
recommendations. The RSPAWG will
also provide a mechanism for formal
coordination between the multiple
organizations conducting RESTORErelated science within the Gulf of
Mexico. RSPAWG will provide its
findings and results to the Science
Advisory Board, which will deliberate
on the input before forwarding it to
NOAA.
The RSPAWG will include
approximately twelve Subject Matter
Experts from academia, government,
industry, and other ocean-related
institutions as well as representatives
from specific Gulf of Mexico
organizations named in the RESTORE
Act (i.e., the Gulf States Marine
Fisheries Commission, Gulf of Mexico
Fishery Management Council, and
RESTORE Centers of Excellence in
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas).
Solicitation of Nominations

RSPAWG. NOAA is seeking twelve

national and international reputations
and degrees or professional
qualifications in: Physical, chemical, or
