ISSUES DRAFT POLICY TO UPDATE “FAIR WEATHER” PARTNERSHIPS
NOAA is requesting public comment on a newly drafted policy
governing the NOAA National Weather Service interactions and
cooperation with the greater consortium of public, private and
academic weather and climate institutions. The new policy was
prompted by the 2002 publication of The National Research Council’s
“Fair Weather: Effective Partnerships in Weather and Climate
Services.” The NRC study commended the three-sector system
for leading to an excellent array of products and services to
benefit the nation’s economy. The study recommended the
NOAA National Weather Service replace its 1991 public-private
partnership policy with a policy that defines processes for
making decisions on products, technologies and services, rather
than rigidly defining the roles of the NOAA National Weather
Service and the private sector.
