As time allows, commenters may be invited to orally expand on written comments they submitted during the public meeting’s public comment periods. • In person: Provide public comments during the daily public comment periods at the in-person meeting. NOAA will accept anonymous comments; however, the written comments NOAA receives are considered part of the public record, and the entirety of the comment, including the name of the commenter, email address, attachments, and other supporting materials, will be publicly accessible. Sensitive personally identifiable information, such as account numbers and Social Security numbers, should not be included with the comments. Comments that are not related to the HSRP public meeting or that contain profanity, vulgarity, threats, or other inappropriate language will not be considered. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hydrographic Services Improvement Act of 1998, as amended (HSIA; 33 U.S.C. 892 et seq.), established the HSRP as a Federal Advisory Committee (see 33 U.S.C. 892c) to advise the NOAA Administrator ‘‘on matters related to the responsibilities and authorities set forth in [33 U.S.C. 892a]’’ of the HSIA, ‘‘and such other appropriate matters as the Administrator refers to the [HSRP] for review and advice.’’ The HSRP invites NOAA stakeholder feedback and welcomes public comments in advance of and during the upcoming HSRP public meeting on the use of NOAA’s navigation, observations, and positioning data, science, products, and services for the National Ocean Service’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, National Geodetic Survey, and Office of Coast Survey, and the NOAA/University of New Hampshire Joint Hydrographic Center. Relevant public comments sent in advance of the HSRP public meeting will be shared with the HSRP members, posted on the meeting website, and included in the public record for the meeting. Individuals and groups may also submit public comments during the scheduled daily public comment periods during the meeting or through the webinar’s ‘‘Questions’’ function. These public comments will be read into the record during public comment periods. As time allows, commenters may be invited to orally expand on their written comments during the meeting’s VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Aug 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 public comment periods. Due to time constraints, all public comments may not be addressed orally during the meeting. Matters To Be Considered The HSRP members will focus on the issues relevant to NOAA’s navigation, observations, and positioning services, and the value these services bring the nation, and invite suggestions from stakeholders and partners for improvements to these services. This suite of NOAA services supports safe and efficient navigation, the Blue Economy, resilient coasts and communities, and the nationwide positioning information infrastructure to support America’s climate needs and commerce. Specifically, the HSRP will consider: • National Ocean Service programs’ recent activities, such as updates to the National Spatial Reference System, datums, national ocean and coastal mapping goals, hydrographic surveying, nautical charting, uncrewed systems, coastal remote sensing and bathymetric lidar, photogrammetry, positioning, sea level rise, and water levels in support of ‘‘seamless data.’’ • The status of NOAA’s navigation services in the context of recent legislation (e.g., the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act). • Measuring, monitoring, and mitigating flooding and sea level change and the contribution of NOAA’s critical foundational geospatial data to projects. • NOAA navigation data, products, and services that enable further economic growth and impact safe navigation. • Other topics related to NOAA programs and activities, such as bathymetric and coastal/ocean modeling, tide and current observations, resilience and coastal data and information systems to support planning for climate change in ports and coastal communities, flooding/ inundation, contributions to the Blue Economy, Physical Oceanographic RealTime System (PORTS®) sensor enhancements and expansion, Precision Marine Navigation, the transition from raster paper charts to Electronic Navigational Charts, geodetic observations, gravity modeling, data stewardship, education and training to sustain the workforce necessary for NOAA navigation services missions, and scientific mapping and technology research projects tied to cooperative agreements between NOAA and other partners.
