The National Weather Service is to maintain staffing levels
What the document says“The National Weather Service shall maintain staffing levels in order to fulfill the mission required under 15 U.S.C. 313 to protect life and property to the maximum extent possible.”
The whole of section 114 of the Commerce title. It directs the National Weather Service to maintain staffing levels sufficient to fulfill the mission set for it by 15 U.S.C. 313. The section names no number and no baseline, and 15 U.S.C. 313 is a separate statute that is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“The National Weather Service shall maintain staffing levels in order to fulfill the mission required under 15 U.S.C. 313 to protect life and property to the maximum extent possible.”
The weather service must keep enough staff. It needs them to do the job the law gives it. That job is to protect life and property.
The rule gives no head count. It points to an older law for the job. It does not say what number of staff would be enough.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
