Money for the National Weather Service is budgeted together with other Commerce Department bureaus. The Secretary of Commerce must prepare future budget estimates for the Weather Service. Those estimates must be developed with agriculture's interests in mind.

This section covers how the National Weather Service gets funded. Congress appropriates money for the National Weather Service the same way it does for the other bureaus in the Department of Commerce — together, not separately. It is the Secretary of Commerce's job to prepare future budget estimates for the National Weather Service. Those estimates must be specially developed and expanded with the interests of agriculture in mind.
