NOAA Space-Based Data Collection System (DCS) Agreements

OMB 0648-0157 ยท DOC/NOAA.

OMB 0648-0157

This request is for a revision and extension of an existing information collection. The Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) data collection system (DCS), also known as the Argos system, is being removed from this collection as it is no longer administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA operates a space-based DCS per 15 CFR Part 911: the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) DCS. The GOES DCS is operated to support environmental applications, e.g., meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, ecology, and remote sensing of Earth resources. Presently, the majority of users of this system are government agencies and researchers and much of the data collected by the GOES DCS are provided to the World Meteorological Organization via the Global Telecommunication System for inclusion in the World Weather Watch Program.

The latest form for NOAA Space-Based Data Collection System (DCS) Agreements expires 2029-05-31 and is listed under ICR 202603-0648-004.
