SUMMARY: This document amends a notice published in the Federal

ocean CO2 data, with the ultimate goal of estimating the 
quantity of anthropogenic CO2 that has been taken up by the 
global ocean. The dates for receiving Letters of Intent and full 
proposals for these amendments are changed. All other dates remain the 
same.

of Intent, full proposals must be postmarked on or before September 30, 
1998.
