NOAA — National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Parent: U.S. Department of Commerce. Domains in this note: noaa.gov, weather.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov.
What they regulate
Oceanic and atmospheric science, fisheries management (NOAA Fisheries), and weather services. NOAA does not issue FMCSA MC authority, SEC registration, or state insurance producer licenses — though marine/fisheries data can matter to commodity and charter desks.
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

Questions this page answers
Does NOAA license ocean freight brokers?
No. Ocean freight and NVOCC paths involve FMC and CBP/customs layers; FMCSA covers domestic motor property brokers. NOAA is science and fisheries, not a broker register.
Is weather.gov a separate agency?
weather.gov is the National Weather Service under NOAA.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
