Statement of Dr. Jane Lubchenco on the National Academy of Public Administration Study on NOAA Climate Service

September 14, 2010

Today, NOAA Administrator Dr. Jane Lubchenco issued the following statement about the National Academy of Public Administration’s study on a NOAA Climate Service:

Last fall, the U.S. Congress asked the National Academy of Public Administration, or NAPA, to assist NOAA with “a study and analysis of the organizational options for a National Climate Service within NOAA, emphasizing maximum effectiveness and efficiency.” 

Today, I am pleased to report that the expert panel commissioned by NAPA has completed its study and released its final report to NOAA and Congress. The panel stated that it “strongly supports the creation of a NOAA Climate Service to be established as a line office in NOAA.”  Among its more than two dozen recommendations, the report calls on NOAA to play a leadership role in the coordination and delivery of climate science and services across the federal family. It also provides guidance on internal reorganization options and specific strategies to ensure successful implementation.
