SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

NOAA operates meteorological

satellite imagery transmission systems

whose data are available worldwide.

Any user can establish a ground station

for receiving the data without prior

consent from NOAA. Surveying of

customers allows NOAA to learn about

who uses the data, how, with what

equipment, the location of the

equipment, and similar subjects. This

information is used to help determine

the possible impact of signal or data

changes, to identify users for future

contacts, and to annually report to the

World Meteorological Organization on

the geographic location and capabilities

of known receiving stations.

II. Method of Collection

People contacting NOAA in a way

that indicates that they may operate a

satellite receiving station for acquiring

NOAA data are mailed a questionnaire.

An electronic version is available to

persons accessing the related NOAA

Web site.
