Abstract: NOAA asks people who operate ground receiving stations that receive data from NOAA satellites to complete a questionnaire about the types of data received, its use, the equipment involved, and similar subjects. The data obtained are used by NOAA for short-term operations and long-term planning. This collection falls under the NOAA Policy on Partnerships in the Provision of Environmental Information (http://www.noaa.gov/partnershippolicy/#policyintro). We have made minor wording changes to the form, to clarify that the data is not limited to customers with ground station satellites.
