David Turner, Designated Federal 

Officer, Ocean Exploration Advisory 

Board, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

David.Turner@NOAA.gov or (859) 327–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA 

established the OEAB under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and 

legislation that gives the agency 

statutory authority to operate an ocean 

exploration program and to coordinate a 

national program of ocean exploration. 

The OEAB advises NOAA leadership on 

strategic planning, exploration 

priorities, competitive ocean 

exploration grant programs, and other 

matters as the NOAA Administrator 

requests. 

OEAB members represent government 

agencies, the private sector, academic 

institutions, and not-for-profit 

institutions involved in all facets of 

ocean exploration—from advanced 

technology to citizen exploration. 

In addition to advising NOAA 

leadership, NOAA expects the OEAB to 

help to define and develop a national 

program of ocean exploration—a 

network of stakeholders and 

partnerships advancing national 

priorities for ocean exploration. 

Matters To Be Considered: The OEAB 

will discuss finalizing recommendations 

they have been developing on ways to 

take ocean exploration to new heights 

with emphasis on need for creativity, 

challenging existing thinking, and 

pushing boundaries within the ocean 

exploration field. The board will discuss 

and deliberate on these topics. The 

agenda and other meeting materials will 

be made available on the OEAB website 

at https://oeab.noaa.gov/. 

Status: The meeting will be open to 

the public via remote access. Please 

check the agenda on the OEAB website 

to confirm the public comment period 

schedule. 

The OEAB expects that public 

statements at its meetings will not be 

repetitive of previously submitted 

verbal or written statements. In general, 

each individual or group making a 

verbal presentation will be limited to 

three minutes. The Designated Federal 

Officer must receive written comments 

by February 20, 2024, to provide 

sufficient time for OEAB review. 

Written comments received after 

February 20, 2024, will be distributed to 

the OEAB but may not be reviewed 

prior to the meeting date. Comments 

should be submitted to Designated 

Federal Officer David.Turner@
