FY 2022 NESDIS Budget Overview● FY 2022 President’s Budget requests a total of $2,029.0 million and 800 FTE/ 844 positions for the National Environmental Satellite,

Data, and Information Service (NESDIS); reflecting a net increase of $515.2 million from FY 2021 Enacted:○ -$0.6 million for Technical Adjustments○ +$8.2 million for Calculated Inflationary Adjustments○ +$2.6 million to restore funds reprogrammed in FY 2021 to support WCOSS and G550○ +$504.9 million in Narrative Program Changes from FY 2021 PB

● With this request, NESDIS proposes to:○ Support NOAA’s current satellite constellation and enable time critical program development for the next generation of

satellite observing and ground systems that will deliver assets in 2030 to 2050;○ Transition to an integrated and adaptable portfolio observing system and program management structure for major systems

development.○ Accelerate product service delivery to meet established customer needs, and to develop enhanced products to meet climate

service needs.○ Enable NOAA to better understand and forecast across weather, seasonal, and climatic timescales to deliver products and

services for decision-makers, as described in Weather Act Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 (P.L.115-25) and National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L.115-423).

○ Leverage and foster interagency, commercial, and international partnerships for observations and critical technology development, particularly in low Earth orbit.

○ Exploit information technology, such as cloud and artificial intelligence to enable expansion of the size and diversity of NOAA’s user community.

○ Conduct essential system cost vs performance trades to define the NOAA observing system that can fit within a flat $2.0 billion budget starting in FY 2022 with no outyear increases other than government-wide inflation assumptions.

FY 2022 Budget RestructureIn FY 2022, NOAA proposes to restructure the NESDIS budget to:

• Execute major satellite programs cost effectively and efficiently by conducting technical and procurement risk management across multiple projects within a observing system portfolio

– Enables NESDIS to manage impacts to individual programs collectively, avoiding multiple program corrections at DOC, OMB, and Congressional level

– For example, NESDIS would manage COVID-19 impacts for GOES-R (~$60M) and SWFO (~$30M) within portfolio budgets without additional funds

• Collect and manage requirements at the observations level, rather than at the instrument or platform level• Enable management of LEO, GEO, and Space Weather observations as portfolios, allowing for more effective

rapid development and deployment for high mission value observations while maintaining transparency• Leverage new public and private sector science, technical, and information sciences innovation through more

sustained observing system developmentChallenges the restructured budget will help NESDIS overcome are:

• Resources, products, and offices are bound to specific satellite missions with limited timelines, rather than to sustained observational requirements

• Higher acquisition costs due to an inability to balance risks across observation sets• Information products tied to individual satellite platforms, making it more difficult to support enterprise

products, regardless of the data source.• Missed opportunities to exploit partnerships and technology innovation, and to influence partner investments

NESDIS Budget Profile (FY 2016 to 2026)

*The FY 2023-2026 outyear profile holds NESDIS at the FY 2022 requested funding level of $2,029.0 million plus inflation.

FY 2022 NOAA Satellites○ Transition to an integrated and adaptable portfolio observing system and program management

structure ○ Initiate time critical program development for next generation geostationary and space weather satellite

observations■ Support Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) development to ensure these critical assets

are in place by the early 2030s■ Initiate Space Weather Next (SWNext) to sustain, improve, extend and mitigate potential gaps in

observations to support NOAA space weather forecast operations ○ Leverage and foster interagency, commercial, and international partnerships for observations and critical

technology development, particularly in low Earth Orbit (LEO) domain

○ Exploit information technology, such as cloud and artificial intelligence via Common Ground Services to enable expansion of NOAA’s user community. ■ Continue leveraging non-NOAA partner and commercial

data sources and to provide the IT infrastructure to securely ingest, generate science products, distribute, and archive data.

○ Accelerate enhanced product service delivery to meet customer and today’s climate service needs.

FY 2022 NESDIS SummaryFY 2022 President’s Budget request provides $2,029.0 million for NESDIS, which will: ● Evolve to a more integrated and adaptable portfolio budget structure;● Support investments toward the next generation of satellite observing and ground

systems that will deliver space assets in 2030 to 2050;● Leverage and foster interagency, commercial, and international partnerships to

continue to deliver and evolve a resilient and high-performing observing system;● Continue operations and sustainment, data management, and systems acquisition for

current satellite programs to meet NOAA’s mission; ● Support EO 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, to help NOAA

better understand climate change-related trends and patterns, and deliver products, information, and climate services to inform decision makers;

● Exploit information technology trends, such as cloud and artificial intelligence; and,● Provide a NESDIS observing system that accommodates a flat line budget with no

outyear increases other than government-wide inflation assumptions.

LEO

Thermospheric and ionospheric objectives will require in situ measurements from LEO as well as imaging capabilities from GEO.

For the magnetosphere, in situ measurements from GEO and HEO can combined with auroral imaging.

Meeting the Challenge of Service Delivery

Climate Equity

•In FY22, NOAA will support EO 13985 through an investment of $57.9 million in cutting-edge climate forecasting and service delivery coupled with a robust approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. NOAA will:

•Improve and expand communication efforts, tools, and services to help underserved communities better prepare for and respond to extreme weather and climate disasters.

•Accelerate efforts to attract, retain and develop talent from diverse backgrounds through STEM recruitment from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).

•Accelerate implementation of the Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan to leverage diversity to maximize the potential of individuals and NOAA.

NOAA Level:

Climate EquityExternal to NOAA

• NOAA’s FY22 budget supports EO 13985 through significant investments in more equitable services that support vulnerable communities to prepare for, adapt to, and become more resilient against climate change and its impacts. NOAA will:

• Invest in Service Equity Assessments, assessing key services to identify and address barriers to access.

• Expand NOAA’s communication efforts, tools, and services through language translation, accessibility to learning events, technical assistance, and tutorials for data and tools.

• These efforts include Spanish-language translations of NWS forecasts and enhancing NOAA’s relevance to historically underserved communities with such products as the Drought Portal and NOS Digital Coast products such as the Sea Level Rise Viewer.

NOAA Level:

Climate EquityInternal to NOAA

• NOAA’s FY22 budget supports EO 13985 at NOAA's core. NOAA will accelerate efforts to attract, retain and develop talent from diverse backgrounds and strengthen its internal equity work. NOAA will:

• Increase STEM recruitment from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) with the use of data analytics and communication tools.

• Engage with these institutions through NOAA’s IT Fellowship Program, a new internship program focused on atmospheric sciences, the NOAA Corps, and other NOAA workforce training and development programs.

• Accelerate implementation of the Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan through training and outreach for staff, supervisors, and leaders.

• These investments in equity in our current and prospective workforce will allow NOAA to leverage diversity to provide better services to all Americans.
