AGENCY: Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Charter Renewal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce's Chief Financial Officer and 
Assistant Secretary for Administration has renewed the charter for the 
NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) for a period of two years from the 
date of the filing of the charter with the appropriate U.S. Senate and 
House of Representatives oversight committees. The NOAA SAB is a 
federal advisory committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Pub. L. 92-463).

DATES: The SAB Charter is renewed for two years from the date of the 
filing of the charter with the appropriate U.S. Senate and House of 
Representatives oversight committees.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Cynthia J. Decker, Executive 
Director and Designated Federal Officer, NOAA Science Advisory Board, 
NOAA, Rm. 11230, R/SAB, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland 
20910. (Phone: 301-734-1156, Email: [email protected]); or visit 
the NOAA SAB Web site at http://www.sab.noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The renewal of the charter for this time 
period is critical to the success of NOAA.
    Only one amendment was made to the charter.
    Under Section 9, Estimated Number and Frequency of Meetings, 
language has been revised to state ``The SAB will meet approximately 
three times each year in person if possible.'' This reflects the need 
for the Board members to regularly gather together for their meetings 
but also allows room for those meetings to be fewer than three per year 
and virtual, if necessary. The SAB will continue to have ad hoc virtual 
meetings in between the in-person meetings as necessary.
