related fields; (4) to advise the OPC on 

national ocean research priorities; and 

(5) any additional responsibilities that 

the OPC considers appropriate. 

Status: The December 3, 2024 meeting 

will be open to public participation 

with a 30-minute public comment 

period at 3:15 p.m. EST. The ORAP 

expects that public statements presented 

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 a total time of three 

minutes. Written comments for the 

December 3–4, 2024 meeting should be 

received by November 20, 2024 by the 

ORAP DFO (DFO.orap@noaa.gov) to 

provide sufficient time for ORAP 

review. Written comments received by 

the ORAP DFO after this date will be 

distributed to the ORAP, but may not be 

reviewed prior to the meeting date. 

Special Accommodations: These 

meetings are physically accessible to 

people with disabilities. Requests for 

special accommodations may be 

directed to the ORAP DFO no later than 

12 p.m. EST on November 20, 2024. 

Matters to be Considered: During the 

ORAP meeting on Dec. 13–14, 2023, the 

Ocean Policy Committee (OPC) 

requested that the ORAP advise on areas 

of opportunity for partnership (such as 

through the National Oceanic 

Partnership Program) on the topic of 

emerging technology (which could 

include Artificial Intelligence/Machine 

Learning, eDNA, and similar 

technology) with ocean industry and 

other sectors over the next 5–10 years. 

The OPC also requested that ORAP selfselect another topic to address. The 

ORAP members agreed that the topic of 

accessible, inter-operable, 

interdisciplinary, and trusted ocean data 

to meet research and user needs is 

critical and deserves ORAP immediate 

attention. At this meeting on December 

3–4, 2024, ORAP members will examine 

barriers, challenges, and potential 

mechanisms that expand opportunities 

for public-private partnerships by 

engaging external input from 

Government and Industry. 

Meeting materials, including work 

products, will be made available on the 

ORAP website: https://www.noaa.gov/
