positioning, system calibration and
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/
QC) techniques, coverage and
resolution, uncertainty, tides and water
levels, and general gridded data
specifications.
3. Seabed and Lakebed Backscatter—
The backscatter data chapter focuses on
establishing common backscatter
acquisition and processing methods,
acoustic signal corrections and image
processing steps leveraging existing
guidelines and recommendations from
the Marine Geological and Biological
Habitat Mapping Backscatter Working
Group, as well as expert input from
government, industry, academic
institutions and other relevant bodies.
4. Water Column Sonar—The water
column sonar chapter focuses on
collecting, processing, and delivering
raw and interpreted backscatter from
single beam and multibeam
echosounders. This chapter summarizes
best practices for system configurations,
operating frequencies and depth ranges,
system calibration, QA/QC techniques,
and analysis, and interpretation of
backscatter.
5. Side Scan Sonar—The Side Scan
Sonar chapter focuses on collecting,
processing, and delivering side scan
sonar data. This chapter summarizes
best practices for acquisition standards
and system set-up, range scales,
frequencies and ping rates, coverage
requirements, positioning, system
calibration, QA/QC techniques, and
derivation of products.
6. Sub-bottom—The sub-bottom
profiling chapter focuses on common
system types, practical survey design,
conventional acquisition procedures,
processing protocols, data formats, and
publication of subsurface imaging data.
The chapter describes the standard
operating procedure for the use of
single-channel acoustic systems that
commonly operate in the 0.2 to 24
kilohertz frequency range to remotely
image the surface morphology and nearsurface stratigraphy.
7. Magnetometer—The magnetometer
chapter focuses on general magnetic
theory as it relates to anomaly
detectability, factors that influence data
quality, instrument configuration and
selection, platforms, coverage
specifications, testing and calibration,
and resolution/line spacing based on
survey objectives.
The SOMP encourages use of national
standards and best practices to guide all
ocean mapping actions in order to
ensure the widest access to, use of, and
integration of data while minimizing
duplication of effort and archiving of
ocean and coastal mapping data in
publicly accessible repositories and

archiving data to established standards
expands its utility for multiple uses.
Ocean mapping data are required to
meet many Federal government
missions. To make the most of every
survey mile collected, the IWG–OCM
works with and encourages
participation from partnering federal,
state, local, academic, private industry,
and non-profit organizations on
mapping activities, data collection, and
data sharing.

discuss the relative merits of the people,
teams, and companies nominated for the
NMTI.
DATES: The meeting will convene on
March 13, 2023, at approximately 9 a.m.
and adjourn at approximately 4 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will take place
at the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO), 600 Dulany
St., Alexandria, VA 22314.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Linda Hosler, Program Manager,
National Medal of Technology and
Innovation Program, USPTO, at 600
Dulany St., Alexandria, VA 22314; 571–
272–8514; or nmti@uspto.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., notice is
hereby given that the NMTI Nomination
Evaluation Committee, chartered to the
United States Department of Commerce,
will meet at the USPTO campus in
Alexandria, Virginia, on March 13,
2023.
The Secretary of Commerce is
responsible for recommending to the
President prospective NMTI recipients.
The NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee evaluates the nominations
received via public solicitation and
makes its recommendations for the
Medal to the Secretary. Committee
members are distinguished experts in
the fields of science, technology,
business, and patent law. They come
from both the public and private sectors
and are appointed by the Secretary for
three-year terms.
The NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee was established in
accordance with the FACA. The
Committee meeting will be closed to the
public, in accordance with the FACA
and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B),
because the discussion of the relative
merits of the Medal nominations is
likely to disclose information of a
personal nature that, if shared widely,
would constitute an unwarranted
invasion of the personal privacy of the
nominees. Premature disclosure of the
Committee’s recommendations would
also likely significantly frustrate the
implementation of the Medal program.
The Acting Chief Financial Officer
and Assistant Secretary of Commerce for
Administration, United States
Department of Commerce, formally
determined on February 17, 2023,
pursuant to section 1009(d) of the
FACA, that the meeting may be closed
because Committee members are
concerned with matters that are within
the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and
(9)(B). Due to the closure of this
meeting, copies of any meeting minutes
will not be available. A copy of the
