SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1998 

Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia 

Research Control Act (HABHRCA), as 

amended, codified at 33 U.S.C. 4001– 

4009, authorized the establishment of 

three national competitive programs on 

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and the 

Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia 

Research and Control Amendments Act 

of 2014, Public Law 113–124; 

authorized the continuation of these 

programs. NOAA implements 

HABHRCA through the Ecology and 

Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms 

(ECOHAB) Program, the Monitoring and 

Event Response for Harmful Algal 

Bloom (MERHAB) Program and the 

Prevention, Control and Mitigation of 

Harmful Algal Blooms (PCMHAB) 

Program. ECOHAB provides coastal 

managers with the understanding, tools, 

and models to predict the development, 

extent, and toxicity of HABs and their 

impacts, leading to early warning and 

new prevention and mitigation 

strategies. MERHAB builds capacity and 

enhances partnerships between 

managers, researchers, and private 

industry to improve monitoring for HAB 

cells and toxins and responding to HAB 

events. The PCM HAB program 

transitions promising technologies and 

strategies for preventing, controlling, or 

mitigating HABs and their impacts from 

development through demonstration 

and technology transfer for field 

application by end-users. A regional 

rotation for the three Harmful Algal 

Blooms Programs was implemented in 

Fiscal Year 2009. All three regions have 

been rotated once and a rotation cycle 

is now complete. Beginning in 2016, the 

regional rotation will not be used to 

define the geographic scope of future 

competitions. Hereafter, the necessary 

objectives, procedures, and guidance for 

Harmful Algal Bloom funding 

competitions will be posted in 

announcements on the OMB-designated 

government wide Web site for finding 

and applying for Federal financial 

assistance, currently www.Grants.gov.

causing to be obtained, soliciting . . . 

facts or opinions by or for an agency,

The Commission is submitting this
