Bill > HR3176

This bill reauthorizes the National Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring System by amending the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. Specifically, the bill updates two key provisions: first, it changes references from the United States Geological Survey to the "Secretary" and extends the authorization period from 2019-2023 to 2026-2029; second, it replaces references to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with the "Secretary of Commerce" and modifies funding authorization, setting a specific appropriation of $470,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2029. This legislation ensures continued support for monitoring and early warning systems related to volcanic activity in the United States, which are critical for public safety and scientific understanding of potential volcanic hazards.
