Administrator and the Interagency Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) on 
matters related to the responsibilities and authorities set forth in 
section 12302 of the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System 
Act of 2009 and other appropriate matters as the Under Secretary refers 
to the Committee for review and advice.
    The Committee will provide advice on:
    (a) Administration, operation, management, and maintenance of the 
System;
    (b) expansion and periodic modernization and upgrade of technology 
components of the System;
    (c) identification of end-user communities, their needs for 
information provided by the System, and the System's effectiveness in 
dissemination information to end-user communities and to the general 
public; and

Committee.

committee priorities, including discussions of ICOOS Act 
Reauthorization, raising IOOS to a national-level program, and 
increasing engagement with industry. This meeting will also focus 
specifically on how U.S. IOOS may better address needs of the USVI and 
better leverage existing partnerships at the local level. The agenda is
