matters that the Under Secretary refers to the Panel for review and 
advice. The charter and other information are located online at http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/ocs/hsrp/CharterBylawsHSIAStatute.htm.
    Matters to Be Considered: The panel is convening to hear federal, 
state, regional and local partners and stakeholders on issues relevant 
to NOAA's navigation services, particularly focusing on the Texas Gulf

services provided by the NOAA programs and activities that undertake 
geodetic observations, gravity modeling, shoreline mapping, bathymetric 
mapping, hydrographic surveying, nautical charting, tide and water 
level observations, current observations, and marine modeling. This 
suite of NOAA products and services support safe and efficient 
navigation, resilient coasts and communities, and the nationwide 
positioning information infrastructure to support America's commerce.
    The Panel will hear from federal agencies and non-federal 
organizations about their missions and their use of NOAA's navigation 
services; what value these services bring; and what improvements could 
be made. Other administrative matters may be considered. This agenda is 
subject to change.
