This report tracks congressional appropriations action on the President's FY2006 funding request for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In addition, it discusses issues of possible congressional concern bearing on NOAA appropriations for FY2006, such as the National Ocean Policy Commission and the President's Action Plan recommendations for the agency; internal reorganization; FY2005 emergency supplemental funding for U.S. tsunami warning system upgrades for the National Weather Service; and the Administration's and Congress's proposals for a NOAA Organic Act (H.R. 50). This report will be updated as warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
