It requires science-based assessments of ecological needs, pollution threats, and economic effects while mandating that agencies avoid harming MPA resources in their activities.
Global Disaster Information Network
This executive order establishes the Global Disaster Information Network, a coordinated federal effort led by an Interagency Coordinating Committee (co-chaired by the Vice President's office, NOAA, and State Department) to improve how the U.S. government uses information technology to collect and share disaster-related information for domestic and international preparedness, response, and recovery. A Committee Support Office will develop plans and strategies, with NOAA providing administrative and funding support.

Implementation of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998

Strengthened Protections for Human Subjects of Classified Research
