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.
Affected Public: Not for profit institutions; state, local or
tribal governments; business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
Dated: February 23, 2018.
