(b) Of each year's authorization, $10,000,000 is authorized for Arctic data, services, coastal-change analysis and management, and reducing risks to subsistence and coastal communities from increased international traffic. Another $2,000,000 is authorized for Arctic data and services needed to delineate the United States extended Continental Shelf.
