(1) maintain a Federal information clearinghouse on marine debris that will be available to researchers and other interested persons to improve marine debris source identification, data sharing, and monitoring efforts through collaborative research and open sharing of data; and
(2) take the necessary steps to ensure the confidentiality of such information (especially proprietary information), for any information required by the Under Secretary to be submitted under this section.
(Pub. L. 109449, § 104, formerly § 6, Dec. 22, 2006, 120 Stat. 3338; Pub. L. 112213, title VI, § 607, Dec. 20, 2012, 126 Stat. 1578; renumbered § 104 and amended Pub. L. 11965, §§ 2(a)(2), 6(a), Dec. 26, 2025, 139 Stat. 1986, 1990.)
## Notes
Editorial Notes
Amendments2025—Pub. L. 11965, § 6(a), which directed substitution of “Under Secretary” for “Administrator”, was executed by making the substitution in both introductory provisions and par. (2), to reflect the probable intent of Congress. 2012—Par. (2). Pub. L. 112213 struck out “by the fishing industry” after “to be submitted”.
