Establishes data standards and infrastructure to support open science and efficient data transfer, including AI for data assimilation. Forms a consortium to advance data assimilation research and workforce development. Conducts a study on data management needs and practices.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding federal statute enacted by the United States Congress with mandatory obligations on the Under Secretary and NOAA, using mandatory language throughout and establishing legally enforceable requirements.
The document has minimal coverage of AI risk domains, with only brief mentions of AI/ML in the context of data assimilation methods. No specific AI risks or harms are addressed. The document focuses on data management infrastructure and practices rather than AI governance or risk mitigation.
This document primarily governs the Public Administration sector (specifically NOAA and federal weather services) and the Scientific Research and Development Services sector through the establishment of a university consortium for data assimilation research. It also has implications for the Information sector through data infrastructure and sharing provisions.
The document primarily addresses the Build and Use Model stage through its focus on data assimilation methods including AI and machine learning. It also covers Operate and Monitor through provisions for data infrastructure, long-term data management, and ongoing data sharing practices. The Plan and Design stage is implicitly covered through the establishment of data standards and the mandated study on data management needs.
The document explicitly mentions AI and machine learning in the context of data assimilation methods. It does not specifically mention AI models or AI systems as defined terms, nor does it reference frontier AI, general purpose AI, foundation models, generative AI, or compute thresholds. The focus is on AI/ML as methodological tools for data processing rather than as standalone systems requiring governance.
United States Congress
This is a Congressional act (Weather Act Reauthorization Act of 2023) proposed and enacted by the United States Congress as federal legislation.
United States Congress; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; Under Secretary
As federal legislation, enforcement authority rests with Congress through appropriations control and oversight. The Under Secretary and NOAA have operational responsibility for implementing and ensuring compliance with the statutory requirements.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; Under Secretary; National Centers for Environmental Information; Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation; non-Federal entity (for study)
The document establishes monitoring responsibilities through NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information for data archival, coordination with the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation, and mandates a study by a non-Federal entity to assess data management practices.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); Under Secretary; weather enterprise members; institutions of higher education; Data Assimilation University Consortium
The document primarily targets NOAA and the Under Secretary with obligations to establish data standards, infrastructure, and programs. It also targets the weather enterprise (including commercial data providers and academic institutions) through data sharing provisions and the establishment of a university consortium for data assimilation research.
