     Atmospheric Administration, to establish a constituent-driven 
     program to provide a digital information platform capable of 
     efficiently integrating coastal data with decision-support 
     tools, training, and best practices and to support collection 
     of priority coastal geospatial data to inform and improve 
     local, State, regional, and Federal capacities to manage the 
     coastal region, and for other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill,
