OMAOProviding environmental intelligence for a dynamic world.

• The personnel, ships, and aircraft of NOAA play a critical role in gatheringenvironmental data vital to the nation's economic security, the safety of itscitizens, and the understanding, protection, and management of ournatural resources.

• The NOAA fleet is managed and operated by OMAO, one of six LineOffices within NOAA, and is comprised of civilians, mariners, and officersof the NOAA Corps - one of the seven uniformed services of the UnitedStates.

• NOAA's roots trace back to when President Thomas Jefferson ordered thefirst comprehensive coastal surveys. Those early surveys ensured safepassage of ship-borne cargo for a young nation.

• As the needs of the nation have grown, so too have OMAO'sresponsibilities.

OMAO Personnel

A diverse, highly skilled, adaptable workforce with an authorized strength of approximately 1,000 employees, with six personnel systems and five employee unions:

• GS/CAPS civilians and SES (1) – Primarily land-side mission support, platform acquisition and maintenance,resource management, and administration.

• Wage Mariners – Licensed engineers and mates and unlicensed deck, engineering, steward, and surveytechnician personnel comprise the majority of sea-going crew aboard NOAA ships.

• NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps – Officers serve in OMAO’s operational and administrative leadershippositions at sea, in the air, and ashore, as well as leadership positions throughout NOAA Line Offices and otherfederal agencies and institutions.

• U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Officers Corps – USPHS officers provide medical care at sea andmedical administrative services and specialized IT services ashore.

NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps

The officers of the NOAA Corps are operational leaders:

• As one of the seven U.S. uniformed services, serve with the “special trust andconfidence” of the President.

• The NOAA Corps traces its roots back to the former U.S. Coast and GeodeticSurvey, which dates back to 1807 and President Thomas Jefferson. In 1970,NOAA was created to develop a coordinated approach to oceanographic andatmospheric research and subsequent legislation converted the commissionedofficer corps to the NOAA Corps.

• NOAA Corps officers all have a science or engineering background andprovide the technical and operational expertise, dynamic leadership, andbreadth of experience to optimize NOAA’s missions through planning,preparation, and execution.

• The NOAA Corps is an integral part of NOAA and with 321 officers, the NOAACorps serves throughout the agency’s line and staff offices to support nearlyall of NOAA’s programs and missions.

• NOAA Corps officers operate NOAA’s ships, fly aircraft, manage researchprojects, conduct diving operations, and serve in staff and leadership positionsthroughout NOAA.

OMAO Operations

● The OMAO Fleet includes 16 ships – the largest civilian research fleet in the United States - and ninespecialized aircraft.

● OMAO’s ships support fishery, hydrographic, and marine ecosystems surveys, allowing us to support morerobust stock assessments, update our nautical charts faster, and ensure our buoy networks receive themaintenance they need.

● OMAO’s aircraft collect environmental and geographic data essential to studying climate change, assessingmarine mammal populations, surveying coastal erosion, investigating oil spills, improving hurricane and winterstorm forecasts.

In 2015:

● OMAO’s ships sailed more than 371,000 nautical miles● OMAO’s aircraft flew more than 4,400 accident-free hours● 383 NOAA Divers logged 11,114 dives, resulting in more than 7,300 hours underwater

OMAO’s Ships and CentersThe fleet is listed with ship name, homeport location, primary mission, year built,

and projected End of Service Life (EOSL).NOAA’s ships range in age from two to 49 years old. Out of 16 ships in the fleet,

only eight are operating within their design life. By FY2028 the NOAA fleet will shrink by 50% without immediate investment.

OMAO – Other Programs and Support

NOAA Dive Program

The NOAA Diving Program (NDP) is the largest non-DoD federal diving program with over 375 active divers.

In addition to 32 sites around the U.S. OMAO operates 15 ships with full diving compliments.

In 2015, NOAA Divers completed over 11,000 incident-free dives with a total of over 7,300 hours underwater.

NOAA has divers trained on mixed-gas rebreathers who are working at depths of up to 330 feet.

Small Boat Program and Aircraft Safety

OMAO sets policy and provides safety inspections for almost 400 small boats throughout NOAA. OMAO also sets and implements aircraft safety policy for NOAA and our contractors.

Teachers at Sea

NOAA’s Teacher at Sea program provides a unique environment for learning and teaching by sending kindergarten through college-level teachers to sea aboard OMAO’s research and survey ships to work under the tutelage of scientists and crew, including officers of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps.

Since its inception in 1990, the program has enabled more than 600 teachers to gain first-hand expereince on NOAA vessels

hand experience of science and life at sea.

Unmanned Systems Support

OMAO and the NOAA Corps provide a number of services to NOAA and NOAA’s Partners to support unmanned systems from launch platforms, to technical support, to pilots.

OMAO’s FY17 Budget Request Highlights

The FY 2017 President’s Budget Request for OMAO is $289,298,000. This request will allow NOAA to make investments to maintain and expand the NOAA fleet in support of more robust stock assessments, faster updates to nautical charts, and improved ocean sensing and monitoring. Highlights include:

•Regional Survey Vessel (RSV) Construction (-$56.0M): NOAA’s request of $24 million will supplement the FY 2016 fundingof $80 million for acquisition of one Research Survey Vessel. The RSV will support fishery surveys critical to species management, habitat and hydrographic surveys, and disaster response. Specific RSV design and capabilities will be optimally designed based on NOAA prioritized at-sea data collection requirements and regionally-driven specifications. Without this investment to retain current mission capacity and expertise, the NOAA fleet will decline by 50 percent from 16 to 8 active ships between FY 2017 and FY 2028.

•Alternative Crewing (+$2.0M): The requested increase of $2.0M will expand the rotational staffing program for licensedengineering officers on approximately twelve NOAA ships. The goal of this program is to allow consistent scheduled time-off, and reduce the attrition of NOAA’s licensed Engineering Officers to 10 percent or less. The alternate staffing models will also reduce lost Days at Sea due to staffing shortfalls, and increase the quantity of preventive maintenance with fully staffed engineering departments.

•Progressive Lifecycle Maintenance Program (+ $5.0M): The requested increase of $5.0M will stabilize and improve thematerial condition of our ships and result in a fleet maintained at a higher state of readiness, an extension of service life, and avoidance of mechanical, structural, and mission equipment obsolescence.

•Days at Sea: The total request of $184.4M supports 3,375 OMAO funded Days at Sea, with a ship utilization rate of about 90percent, to support critical in situ collection of oceanic, hydrographic, and fisheries data.

•Aviation Operations: The total request of $32.9M supports 3,947 OMAO-funded flight hours of critical real time observations.
