Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

providing products and services as well as address the role of private 
sector weather providers in providing complementary services.

DATES: The agency must receive comments on or before June 30, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be submitted to the following address: 
[email protected] or land mail address below. The proposed policy 
is available electronically at http://weather.gov/sp/specialevents.htm
