# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is requesting Office of Management and Budget approval for a new information collection which will be used to evaluate the need for NASA to establish a central repository of reusable components for earth science data systems. The NASA Earth Science Data Systems Working Group, who will be collecting the information, needs to better understand the community's needs with respect to such a repository before it can be built. 

## II. Method of Collection 

Collection of information will be entirely through an on line web-based questionnaire in order to minimize respondent burden.
