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.

How to verify

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.
