Solar Wind Comment Period Nears Its End

On April 3, 2006, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) issued a press release announcing a call for public comment on the
value of continuing real-time solar wind data, and products derived from
such data, provided by the Space Environment Center. Since that time,
NOAA has received many thoughtful, compelling comments regarding this
issue. It is obvious that people put their valuable time and effort into
expressing themselves, and their input is most appreciated.

There is still time to add your comments, but time is running short. As
stated in the April 3 press release, the comment period continues until
May 18. All input is important, so, if you haven't voiced your opinion
yet and would like to, please take the time to do so. Please send your
comments to:
