What it does
The NOAA Data Preservation Act would prohibit the Secretary of Commerce from canceling a contract with a cloud service provider for storing NOAA data sets unless a transition plan is developed to move the data to another provider and the NOAA Administrator is consulted to ensure uninterrupted data protection. The bill applies to contracts involving NOAA’s data storage and defines “cloud service provider” using the meaning from the Homeland Security Act of 2002. It aims to safeguard critical environmental and scientific data by preventing abrupt service disruptions.
