SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Committee was established by the
NOAA Administrator as directed by
Section 12304 of the Integrated Coastal
and Ocean Observation System Act, part
of the Omnibus Public Land
Management Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–
11), and reauthorized under the
Coordinated Ocean Observations and
Research Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–271).
The Committee advises the NOAA
Administrator and the Interagency
Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC)
on matters related to the responsibilities
and authorities set forth in section
12302 of the Integrated Coastal and
Ocean Observation System Act of 2009
and other appropriate matters as the
Under Secretary refers to the Committee
for review and advice.
The Committee will provide advice
on:
(A) Administration, operation,
management, and maintenance of the
System;
(B) expansion and periodic
modernization and upgrade of
technology components of the System;
(C) identification of end-user
communities, their needs for
information provided by the System,
and the System’s effectiveness in
disseminating information to end-user
communities and to the general public;
and
(D) additional priorities, including—
(i) a national surface current mapping
network designed to improve fine scale
sea surface mapping using high
frequency radar technology and other
VerDate Sep<11>2014

emerging technologies to address
national priorities, including Coast
Guard search and rescue operation
planning and harmful algal bloom
forecasting and detection that—
(I) is comprised of existing high
frequency radar and other sea surface
current mapping infrastructure operated
by national programs and regional
coastal observing systems;
(II) incorporates new high frequency
radar assets or other fine scale sea
surface mapping technology assets, and
other assets needed to fill gaps in
coverage on United States coastlines;
and
(III) follows a deployment plan that
prioritizes closing gaps in high
frequency radar infrastructure in the
United States, starting with areas
demonstrating significant sea surface
current data needs, especially in areas
where additional data will improve
Coast Guard search and rescue models;
(ii) fleet acquisition for unmanned
maritime systems for deployment and
data integration to fulfill the purposes of
this subtitle;
(iii) an integrative survey program for
application of unmanned maritime
systems to the real-time or near realtime collection and transmission of sea
floor, water column, and sea surface
data on biology, chemistry, geology,
physics, and hydrography;
(iv) remote sensing and data
assimilation to develop new analytical
methodologies to assimilate data from
the System into hydrodynamic models;
(v) integrated, multi-State monitoring
to assess sources, movement, and fate of
sediments in coastal regions;
(vi) a multi-region marine sound
monitoring system to be—
(I) planned in consultation with the
Interagency Ocean Observation
Committee, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, the
Department of the Navy, and academic
research institutions; and
(II) developed, installed, and operated
in coordination with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, the Department of the
Navy, and academic research
institutions; and
(E) any other purpose identified by
the Administrator or the Council.
