Information about the data provider or other individuals is VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:13 Jan 02, 2018 Jkt 244001 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.
