Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background NESDIS operates NOAAs National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI. Through NCEI, NESDIS
provides and ensures timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources, provides information services, and develops science products.
NESDIS maintains some 1,300
databases containing over 2,400
environmental variables at NCEI and 7
World Data Centers. These centers respond to over 2,000,000 requests for these data and products annually from over 70 countries, the vast majority of which are fulfilled at no fee to the requestor via NOAA CLASS. This collection of environmental data and products is growing rapidly, both in size and sophistication, and as a result the associated costs have increased.
If CLASS is unable to meet a users need, users have the ability to access the special data products described in the table below offline, online and through the NESDIS e-Commerce System NeS
online store. Our ability to provide these special data, information, products and services depends on user fees.
New Fee Schedule In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for access to these special data, information, and related products and services. NESDIS
is revising the fee schedule that has
been in effect since 2019 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services. The new fee schedule lists both the current fee charged for each item and the new fee to be charged to users that will take effect October 21, 2021. The schedule applies to the listed services provided by NESDIS on or after this date, except for products and services covered by a subscription agreement in effect as of this date that extends beyond this date. In those cases, the increased fees will apply upon renewal of the subscription agreement or at the earliest amendment date provided by the agreement.
NESDIS will continue to review these user fees periodically, and will revise such fees as necessary. Any future changes in the user fees and their effective date will be announced through notice in the Federal Register.
Classification This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O.
12866. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 5 U.S.C.
553 requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity for public participation are inapplicable because this rule falls within the public property exception of subparagraph a2 of section 553, as it relates only to the assessment of fees, as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 1534. Further, no other law
requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule.
Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq. are not applicable.
Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required and none has been prepared.
