NOAA Line Office Strategic Plans

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is 

revising the Strategic Plans of five Line 

Offices. NOAA recently updated its 

Strategic Plan for the period 2005–2010 

to reflect updated stakeholder priorities, 

recent external events, and changes to 

NOAA’s operations. The plan 

establishes the goals for NOAA and the 

approaches taken to account for results. 

The following five NOAA Line Offices 

are now updating their Strategic Plans 

to be consistent with the new NOAA 

Strategic Plan: National Environmental 

Satellite, Data, and Information Service 

(NESDIS), National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Ocean Service 

(NOS), National Weather (NWS) and the 

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Research (OAR). NOAA is seeking broad 

public review of the Line Office 

Strategic Plans. NOAA encourages all 

stakeholders and users to review the 

Line Office Plans and provide 

comments. All comments received will 

be reviewed and considered in the final 

drafting of the NOAA Line Office 

Strategic Plans.

DATES: Public comments on this 

document must be received at the 

appropriate mailing or e-mail address 

(see ADDRESSES) on or before 5 p.m., 

local time, November 30, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA is 

soliciting general comments on each of 

the five Line Office Plans. All of the 

plans describe how the Line Offices will 

execute programs and activities to 

achieve NOAA’s strategic outcomes. 

The NESDIS plan focuses on providing 

quality observations and timely access 

to global environmental data and 

information in support of the Nation’s 

economy, security, environment, and 

quality of life. The NMFS plan describes 

how the Line Office activities directly 

support achieving NOAA’s strategic goal 

to Protect, Restore, and Manage the Use 

of Coastal and Ocean Resources through 

an Ecosystem Approach to Management, 

and how NMFS’ activities also support 

NOAA’s goal to Understand Climate 

Variability and Change to Enhance 

Society’s Ability to Plan and Respond. 

The NOS plan lists the Line Office 

priorities, and focuses on furthering the 

NOA Ecosystems, Weather and Water, 

and Commerce and Transportation 

Mission Goals. The NWS plan explains 

how the Line Office intends to fulfill its 

mission of providing weather, water, air 

quality, space weather, and climate 

forecasts and warnings for the United 

States, its territories, adjacent waters, 

and ocean areas for the protection of life 

and property and the enhancement of 

the national economy. Finally, the OAR 

plan describes how it intends to fulfill 

its mission of conducting environmental 

research, providing scientific 

information and research leadership, 

and transferring research into products 

and services to meet evolving economic, 

social, and environmental needs.
