in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Navy can trade almanac data with foreign offices to avoid duplicate work. Either side can end such an arrangement with one year's notice. The Nautical Almanac Office must still be able to do its navigation work alone in an emergency.

(a) The Secretary of the Navy may arrange to exchange data with foreign almanac offices, to avoid duplicating work on national nautical and astronomical almanacs and to publish more useful data for navigators and astronomers. Any such arrangement must be endable with one year's notice. (b) The Nautical Almanac Office's work must be organized so that, in an emergency, its own staff can compute the navigator-focused part of the work without help from other countries.
