	National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas and skies, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources, and conducts research to improve understanding and stewardship of the environment.
		NOAA is intended to be a source of accurate and objective scientific information in the four particular areas of national and global importance identified above: ecosystems, climate, weather and water, and commerce and transportation.
		NOAA data is also relevant to the issues of global warming and ozone depletion.

		NOAA line managers are very supportive of the Commissioned Corps because these officers bring not only key technical skills, but heightened skills in operations, program needs, and management.
		Officers enter the Corps with the expectation that they will be separated from their families for long periods of time and will have to move their families often as a part of the Commissioned Corps' rotational assignment system.
		NOAA Corps officers are the only group of uniformed federal hygrographers in the nation.

	Testimony of Bob Taylor, Acting Deputy Director, Office of NOAA Corps Operations, before the Subcommittee on Energy and ...
		NOAA is achieving its goal of contracting for 50 percent of its hydrographic data for FY99.
		NOAA's FY 2000 President's budget request includes $51.6 million to construct the first of four new, state-of-the-art fisheries research vessels to conduct stock assessment surveys on fish and marine mammal species, identify and assess essential fish habitat, and conduct ecosystem research and monitoring to provide the best available data to rebuild sustainable fisheries.
		Because the capital investment in NOAA's remaining hydrographic ships was incurred long ago, and because NOAA is home to 200 years of expertise in chart-quality hydrography, using NOAA's three remaining hydrographic ships for the remainder of their useful lives is the most cost effective and readily available resource to address the critical survey backlog.

		Today's NOAA Corps continues to serve at sea aboard NOAA's research and survey fleet, in flight aboard research aircraft that probe everything from hurricanes to snow cover, and ashore in NOAA's labs and offices throughout the United States and at such remote research sites as the Australian outback and Antarctica.
		NOAA Corps officers are trained in earth sciences, engineering, oceanography, meteorology, fisheries science, and related fields; which gives them the background to support research conducted aboard ships and aircraft—as well as work in a variety of interesting billets across NOAA.
		NOAA Corps officers, with their flexibility and cross-cutting research and operational skills, are a great asset to NOAA as the agency strives to achieve its mission goals.

	NOAA CORPS ELIGIBILITY FOR PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE COSTS REIMBURSEMENT
		Officers of the NOAA Corps may be transferred to the service of the military departments when the President determines that a sufficient national emergency exists and that such transfer is in the best interests of the nation.

		NOAA Corps officers not only develop operational, technical and leadership skills aboard our ships and aircraft, but many take their experience into program offices ashore to help scientists and managers develop research plans that will make most effective use of the NOAA platforms.
		Many of the capabilities of NOAA platforms needed to conduct research, such as the ability to simultaneously conduct trawling and oceanographic sampling, are not found in the private or university fleets.
		NOAA currently outsources about half of its hydrographic survey and research work to university and private vessels that have the capabilities needed for those particular tasks.

		The number of NOAA Corps commissioned officers needed is directly linked to the overall challenge, as two of the Corps’s three primary functions are to manage and operate NOAA’s ships and aircraft.
		In the past, contractors have complained that NOAA has effectively limited private-sector innovation by dictating the precise type of vessel required, in the case of charter contracts, or explicit procedures to be followed, in the case of contracts for hydrographic surveys.
		NOAA has used recent increases in appropriations to expand its use of private hydrographic surveyors, and in March and April 1998, it issued four contracts worth $10.8 million for data collection.
