This bill directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to take actions regarding precipitation estimation.

NOAA shall, no less than every 10 years, update probable maximum precipitation estimates for the United States. NOAA must include specified information in the updates and must make publicly available certain probable maximum precipitation studies developed by NOAA.
