year across the United States Exclusive
Economic Zone (U.S. EEZ). These
activities improve our understanding of

potential new sources of critical
minerals, biopharmaceuticals, energy,

following questions to identify
opportunities and inform development
of recommendations that will increase
the efficiency of the permitting and
authorization processes for ocean
research, mapping, and characterization
activities that take place in the U.S.

1. Please describe any challenges
related to identifying and obtaining the
necessary information, permits, and
authorizations required to conduct
ocean research, mapping, and

EEZ, particularly with respect to
applicable regulations and agency
policies.
2. Please describe opportunities to

3. What innovative tools, platforms,
and technologies could increase the
efficiency of permitting, reporting, and
authorization processes for ocean
research, mapping, and characterization
activities in the U.S. EEZ? To the extent
innovative capabilities already exist, but
are not being effectively used, what are

development of a national strategy for
mapping, exploring, and characterizing
the U.S. EEZ. Pursuant to this
requirement, the Ocean Policy
Committee, through its Ocean Science
and Technology Subcommittee and in
coordination with the Administrator of
NOAA, seeks to develop a proposed
strategy (‘‘Strategy’’) to map the U.S.
EEZ, identify priority areas within the
U.S. EEZ, and explore and characterize
the priority areas. The Ocean Policy
Committee has commenced
development of the Strategy and is
soliciting public input through this RFI
to obtain information from a wide range
of stakeholders, including academia,
private industry, and other relevant
organizations and institutions. The
public input provided in response to
