The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is seeking feedback from expert individuals and organizations regarding its draft National Plan for Civil Earth Observations.
The Congress-mandated draft is the third version to be developed since 2014 and is intended to maintain U.S. global leadership in the Earth observation enterprise, OSTP said in a notice published Wednesday.
An interagency team of experts called the U.S. Group on Earth Observations was tasked to formulate the 2023 National Plan, which includes near- and long-term actions needed to address socio-economic challenges, such as climate change, in the next 10 years.
The latest request for information is a follow-on to the RFI issued by OSTP in May and will close on Dec. 31.
