Schedule of Fees for Access to NOAA Environmental Data, Information, and Related Products and Services; Correction
AGENCY:
National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION:
Correcting amendment.
SUMMARY:
NESDIS published a document in the Federal Register on February 11, 2019, establishing a new schedule of fees for special access to NOAA data, information, and related products and services. Several entries in the table of fees were inadvertently transcribed incorrectly, and this rule is necessary to correct those errors. This will avoid confusion among regulated entities and allow NESDIS to charge fees, where appropriate, consistent with its statutory authority to accurately reflect the cost of providing access to certain environmental information, information, and related products and services.
DATES:
This correction is effective March 27, 2019.

Mahendra Shrestha, (301) 713-7063.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
NESDIS published a final rule (84 FR 3101; February 11, 2019) to establish a new schedule of fees for special access to NOAA data, information and related products and services. As explained in greater detail in the original final rule, NOAA continues to make its environmental data available to the public without any fee in most instances, primarily via NOAA's Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS). NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2015 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services. NESDIS is authorized under 15 U.S.C. 1534 to assess fees, up to fair market value, depending upon the user and intended use, for access to environmental data, information, and products derived from, collected, and/or archived by NOAA. The changes to the table are minimal and within the scope of our statutory authority and the public's reasonable expectations.
Need for Correction
In the Federal Register of February 11, 2019, (84 CFR 3101) NESDIS included a table, Appendix A to Part 950-Schedule of User Fees for Access to NOAA Environmental Data on page 3102. That table included several entries of services that NESDIS no longer provides.
