To establish an Ambassador-at-Large for Arctic Affairs.
HR 3328 establishes a new U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Arctic Affairs within the State Department, appointed by the President with Senate approval. The position coordinates U.S. foreign policy across federal agencies on Arctic issues including environmental protection, indigenous engagement, resource management, security, and scientific research. The ambassador reports directly to the Secretary of State and oversees efforts related to the eight Arctic Council nations and the defined Arctic region (including northern U.S. territories and Arctic waters). This bill creates a dedicated diplomatic role to streamline U.S. coordination on Arctic matters rather than changing existing laws or affecting specific constituencies directly.
