This monthly station report, used internally by the NCDC to support data ingest, quality control and dataset production, may contain the names of volunteer Cooperative observers. It is the NCDC's policy to protect observer details, based upon Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Update, Vol. X, No. 2, 1989, which exempts the application of FOIA in certain cases and establishes privacy protection decisions in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (2004 edition). This exemption applies when the personal privacy interest is greater than any qualifying public interest for disclosure.

If you are an NCDC employee, contractor or partner with a specific need for this file for your work, please contact the Archive Branch to obtain a copy.
