The North Pacific Research Board Enhancement Act aims to improve the operations of the North Pacific Research Board.
The North Pacific Research Board Enhancement Act amends the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998 to enhance the operations of the North Pacific Research Board. It adds a new member to the Board who represents Alaska Natives and has direct experience with subsistence uses. The Act also allows the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase the 15 percent cap on administrative expenses if funding decreases, prioritizing the Board's operation, research funding, and grant administration quality.
