SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

When creating a Request to Archive 

oceanographic data or information at the 

United States (U.S.) National Centers for 

Environmental Information (NCEI), 

well-organized and complete metadata 

describing those data are needed for 

long term understanding and use of 

those data. The Send2NCEI web 

application provides a web-based form 

for easily collecting required and 

optional descriptive metadata to 

describe oceanographic data in a way 

that supports Executive Order 12906 

and structures those metadata to 

conform to the internationally used ISO 

19115 Geospatial Metadata suite of 

standards. Descriptive metadata informs 

the suitability of data for use by future 

data users and should provide critical 

context about how data were collected, 

what techniques and measurements 

were made, and data quality 

characterizations. Information about the 

data provider or other individuals is 

only used by NCEI to contact the data 

provider with questions about 

submitted data, about the status of the 

data in the archival process, and to 

provide appropriate scientific 

recognition and attribution for 

submitted data. Send2NCEI will be used 

by earth, ocean, and atmospheric 

scientists and their data managers. 

II. Method of Collection 

Web-based application.
