This bill establishes an Interagency Committee on Soil Carbon Research, to be led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy. This committee will include representatives from numerous federal agencies, such as the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Interior, as well as the EPA and NASA. Its primary purpose is to coordinate and advance federal research, development, and deployment concerning soil carbon sequestration sampling, measurement, and monitoring technologies. The Interagency Committee is tasked with developing a cross-agency strategic plan for soil carbon sequestration research and monitoring methodologies, technologies, and community needs. It will propose specific roles and responsibilities for each federal agency involved and oversee the creation of specialized working groups. These working groups will focus on areas like monitoring, reporting, and verification, data management, fundamental research, and community engagement, particularly with historically underserved groups. Furthermore, the committee must submit a baseline report to Congress within one year, followed by progress reports at one, three, and five-year intervals. It will also encourage coordination among agencies, evaluate monitoring activities, and support comprehensive reporting based on standardized data collection. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $10,000,000 to carry out these vital soil carbon research and monitoring activities.
