**(a) In general** The Secretary shall establish and maintain an ocean acidification program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to conduct research, monitoring, coordination, and other activities consistent with the strategic research and implementation plan developed by the Subcommittee under [section 3704 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section3704&num=0&edition=prelim) that— (1) includes— (A) interdisciplinary research among the ocean and atmospheric sciences, and coordinated research and activities to improve understanding of ocean acidification and coastal acidification; (B) the establishment of a long-term monitoring program of ocean acidification and coastal acidification utilizing existing global and national ocean observing assets, including leveraging, as appropriate, the Integrated Ocean Observing System and the ocean observing assets of other Federal, State, and Tribal agencies, and adding instrumentation and sampling stations as appropriate to the aims of the research program; (C) prioritization of the location of monitoring instruments, assets, and projects to maximize the efficiency of resources and agency and department missions; (D) an optimization of understanding of socioeconomic impacts and ecosystem health 11 So in original.

The Administration may enter into Memoranda of Understanding to— (1) coordinate monitoring and research efforts among Federal agencies in cooperation with State, local, and Tribal governments and international partners; this may include analysis and synthesis of the results of monitoring and research; (2) maintain an Ocean Acidification Information Exchange described under [section 3703(b)(5) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title33-section3703/b/5&num=0&edition=prelim) to allow for information to be electronically accessible, including information— (A) on ocean acidification developed through or used by the ocean acidification program described under subsection (a); or (B) that would be useful to State governments, local governments, Tribal governments, resource managers, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders in mitigating or adapting to the impacts of ocean acidification and coastal acidification; and (3) establishing and maintaining the data archive system under subsection (d). **(d) Data archive system** (1) **In general** — The Secretary, in coordination with the members of the interagency working group, shall support the long-term stewardship of, and access to, data relating to ocean and coastal acidification through providing the data on a publicly accessible data archive system. To the extent possible, this data archive system shall collect and provide access to ocean and coastal acidification data— (A) from relevant federally funded research; (B) provided by a Federal, State, or local government, academic scientist, citizen scientist, or industry organization; (C) voluntarily submitted by Tribes or Tribal governments; and (D) from existing global or national data assets that are currently maintained within Federal agencies. (2) **Data standards** — The Secretary to, the extent possible, shall ensure all such data adheres to data and metadata standards to support the public findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of such data.
