What this bill does
H.R. 2770, the TAME Extreme Weather and Wildfires Act, would direct the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to expand its use of artificial intelligence in weather forecasting and wildfire prediction. The bill requires the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere to develop curated training datasets for weather forecasting, permits the creation and testing of an AI-based global weather model, and calls for technical assistance to help forecasters, emergency managers, and the private "weather enterprise" use and evaluate AI weather models alongside traditional numerical models. It also establishes a fire environment modeling program to help predict wildfire behavior, smoke, and related hazards, and directs NOAA to pursue partnerships with private and academic entities, build AI-related workforce expertise, and make certain data and code publicly available under open licenses, subject to security and intellectual-property protections.
The bill primarily affects NOAA and its partner federal agencies (including NASA, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Homeland Security), as well as private companies, universities, and research institutions involved in weather and wildfire forecasting. Emergency managers, firefighters, forecasters, and the general public could benefit indirectly through improved forecasts, wildfire warnings, and access to publicly released data.
The bill was introduced on April 9, 2025, by Rep. Scott Franklin and referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. It has not yet been voted on, and further committee action would be required before it could advance to the full House.
