• Distributed Regional & Federal Data Assembly Centers
• Develops and manages technical design & standards
• Leverages existing Federal and Non-Federal technologies
Functionality• Integrated data #1 request• Standardize, integrate, and
simplify delivery of data from multiple sources
• Access to broader data resources to understand impacts of climate change and improved management decisions

IOOS® DMAC Standards
• Strong DIF-DMAC connection; Interagency buy-in critical to successful development of national DMAC
• Interagency & non-Federal, community-based process– Approach: Adopt, Adapt, Build new– Multiple standards per variable increases complexity
• 1 Oct 2007, DMAC Steering Team: Re-initiated and resourced by NOAA: – Developed web-based, collaborative tools – 270 day review process; 2 formal cycles per year
• STATUS: 3 Recommended; 9 “submitted”

Interagency/Partnership
• National Operational Waves Plan: At print for publication• National HFR Plan: First Round of Comments collected• Model Standards: Rich Signell USGS detail• IOOS and National Water Quality Monitoring Network
– Discrete measurements/sensor network – Regional Pilots
• IOOS and Marine Protected Area (MPA) FACA: White paper written, interagency group being formed; NOAA, EPA on the IOOS side
• IOOS and IOCM: working with IWG-IOCM for RA activities and requirements
• IWGOO: April 09 Industry Workshop• Coastal Inundation Meeting: FL 10-12 Feb – bringing
Federal and Regional together on end to end plan
Interagency/Partnership - cont
• IOOS and Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS): Sharing data standards; monitoring mode with departure of Becky Shuford
• IOOS and Hydrographic Services Review Panel:– Waves (Army Corps) into PORTS® – MOU in work– Working to get IOOS Regional data/models into
PORTS• IOOS and OOI: Separate brief• Shell Oil/NOAA Agreement• EPA: support to NERACOOS – through USGEO• DMAC ST• West Coast Governors Agreement on Ocean Health –
HAB summit: NOAA IOOS, 3 RAs participated
NOAA IOOS Funding
• 2 Budget Lines in NOAA Budget: NOAA ICOOS and Regional IOOS• ACT Earmark in FY08; FY09 House Mark
Regional Partnership
• FY09: No FFO. Funding allocation philosophy– Fully fund RA planning agreements– Fund to FY08 levels– If Additional funding:
• FY07 Focus 2/3• RCOOS/ACT
• FY10: Limited geographical FFO • FY11: Define core capabilities for national competition• Coordination of products and services to Federal
Agencies• Alliance for Coastal Technology• Upcoming Event: 4 Mar Congressional
