Notice of Modifications for the GOES
Data Collection Platform Radio Set
(DCPRS) Certification Standards at 300
bps and 1200 bps
SUMMARY: NOAA is making a change to
the certification standards for the
transmitters that participate in the
GOES Data Collection System (DCS).
The primary purpose of this change is
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703

to enhance the flexibility of the system,
to provide better messaging capabilities,
additional system capacity, improve
timing and frequency stability, and
conform to the regulations for out-ofband emissions specified by the
National Telecommunication and
Information Administration (NTIA). The
GOES DCS will operate under new
certification procedures that will allow
new data collection platforms to use a
frequency channel with half the current
bandwidth (.75 Hz), though existing
platforms will continue to use frequency
channels with 1.5 Hz bandwidth until
suitable replacements are ascertained.
The owners of the existing platforms are
invited to upgrade their units as soon as
possible. New data collection platforms
will be assigned a narrow band channel
in the restructured GOES DCS. These
new certification standards may be
reviewed on the NOAA Web site: https://
noaasis.noaa.gov/DCS/docs/DCPR_
CS2final.doc.
DATES: Start of service [October 1, 2009].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Comments may be provided to the
NOAA GOES DCS Program Manager, at
Kay.Metcalf@noaa.gov or you can
contact her at 301–817–4558.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since the
advent of the Geostationary Operational
Environmental Satellites (GOES) and
the on-board transponder,
environmental data from remote
platforms has been collected and
relayed in real time to federal and
international environmental managers
and scientists. Known as the GOES Data
Collection System (DCS), this satellite
transmission technology consists of over
20,000 Data Collection Platforms
(DCPs), dedicated satellite receive and
transmit capability, and ground/satellite
processing and distribution equipment.
Data collected from DCPs measures or
monitors such varied parameters as
rainfall, river stage levels, soil
conditions, seismic or tsunami
conditions, aircraft flight environment
and fire conditions. These data are also
used to verify and serve as ‘‘ground
truth’’ for other types of remotely sensed
data such as NEXRAD and satellitederived precipitation estimates. DCS
data provides fast, reliable information
for flood, fire, tsunami and other
disaster forecasts and warnings
amounting to incalculable savings in
lives and property damage.
This system provides critical support
to the U.S. Corp of Engineers, U.S.
Geological Survey, the Bureau of Land
Management, the National Weather
Service and other federal and state
agencies to monitor and forecast the
flood stages in the upper Mississippi

Valley. Starting in 1975, the GOES DCS
opened a vast new capability to acquire
the needed data in real or near-real time.
Many Federal Agencies started their
own systems for collecting and
telemetering their data for their own
use. In the recent two decades and a
half, these Federal Agencies have come
together to improve the tools and the
system for better collection, and to
modernize the storage and
dissemination of the in-situ
observations to all the users who
desired them. This GOES Data
Collection System (DCS) has become the
conduit through which remotely sensed
observations, the life-blood of the
Agencies’ operations, must pass. The
GOES DCS is now a critical
Infrastructure for most of these
Agencies, contributing to billions of
dollars in damages being averted
through flood control measures.
As the demand for remotely sensed
in-situ data has increased, certain
segments of the system have been
threatened with saturation. The Federal
Agencies as users, and the National
Environmental Satellite, Data, and
Information Service (NESDIS) as the
system operator, consistently strive to
improve the capabilities of the GOES
DCS.

On 6/15/2009 (74 FR 28221–28222)
and 6/19/2009 (74 FR 29187–29189), the
Committee for Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published notices of proposed additions
to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
the products and services and impact of
the additions on the current or most
recent contractors, the Committee has
determined that the products and
services listed below are suitable for
procurement by the Federal Government
under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–
2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organizations that will furnish the
products and services to the
Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to furnish the
products and services to the
Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
connection with the products and
services proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
