Specifies amended assessment requirements.

Requires the Task Force to: (1) make a specified scientific assessment of freshwater algal blooms; and (2) develop and submit to specified congressional committees a research plan providing for a comprehensive and coordinated national research program to develop prevention, control, and mitigation methods to reduce the impacts of harmful algal blooms on coastal ecosystems, public health, and the economy. Specifies research program requirements.

Requires the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Task Force and appropriate State, Indian tribe, and local governments, to provide for local and regional scientific assessments of hypoxia or harmful algal blooms, as requested by State, Indian tribe, and local governments.

(Sec. 3) Directs the Task Force to complete by specified deadlines, and submit to specified congressional committees, scientific assessments of: (1) harmful algal blooms (HABs) (first on marine HABs and subsequently on both marine and freshwater HABs, including those in the Great Lakes and upper reaches of estuaries); (2) current knowledge of freshwater HABs and coordination of related Federal research; and (3) hypoxia in U.S. coastal waters, including the Great Lakes.

Directs the Task Force to develop, and submit to specified congressional committees, a research plan for a comprehensive and coordinated national research program to develop prevention, control, and mitigation methods to reduce the impacts of HABs on coastal ecosystems, public health, and the economy. Requires such plan to include to the maximum extent practicable diverse institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and those serving large proportions of Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, and other underrepresented populations.

Directs the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) to: (1) establish a research program that meets the priorities and guidelines established under the Task Force's research plan; (2) ensure that research program results are communicated to State, Indian tribe, and local governments, and to the general public; and (3) do so under the Coastal Ocean Science Program (COSP) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Authorization Act of 1992 (NOAA92) and in conjunction with other appropriate Federal agencies.

Requires the Task Force to work with the appropriate State, Indian tribe, and local governments to ensure that the assessments and research plan fulfill requirements of this Act.

Requires the Secretary to provide for local and regional scientific assessments of hypoxia or HABs. Directs the Secretary to do so in coordination with the Task Force and appropriate State, Indian tribe, and local governments and at the request of such governments.

(Sec. 4) Directs the President, in conjunction with State Governors, to develop a prediction and response plan to protect the environment and public health from impacts of HABs. Requires such plan to review HAB prediction techniques and identify innovative HAB response measures.

(Sec. 5) Authorizes appropriations, under HABHRCA, for FY 2004 through 2006 to the Secretary for research, education, and monitoring activities related to the prevention, reduction, and control of HABs and hypoxia.

Requires that specified amounts of such HABHRCA funds be used for: (1) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research and assessment activities, including procurement of necessary research equipment, at research laboratories of the National Ocean Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service; (2) the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) project under COSP, with a specified portion for research on freshwater HABs; (3) the HABHRCA national research program to develop methods to reduce impacts of HABs; (4) the Monitoring and Event Response for HABs project under COSP; (5) activities related to research and monitoring on hypoxia through COSP; and (6) the HABHRCA local and regional scientific assessments of hypoxia or HABs.

(Sec. 6) Amends the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Authorization Act of 1992 (NOAA92) to revise COSP requirements. Requires COSP to: (1) support Great Lakes, estuarine, and coastal ocean research and assessment through competitive, peer-reviewed, and merit-based research programs; and (2) augment and integrate existing research capabilities of NOAA, other Federal agencies, and the academic community. Authorizes appropriations for COSP for FY 2004 through 2006.]]>
