§ 950.10

Deepwater Ports Project Office (DWPPO).

(a) The Deepwater Ports Project Office was established to meet requirements placed upon NOAA by the Deepwater Port (DWP) Act of 1974. The Act establishes procedures for the location, construction, and operation of deepwater ports off the coasts of the United States. It invests licensing authority in the Secretary of Transportation, while the Administrator of NOAA is called upon to provide essential support. To meet NOAA's obligation, EDS' Project Office reviews, evaluates, and prepares recommendations for the Administrator on DWP license applications, related environmental impact statements, and adjacent coastal State status.

§ 950.11 Comprehensive referral service.

(a) Since 1969, EDS has been building the Environmental Data Index (ENDEX). When fully operational (target date, 1978), ENDEX will provide convenient, rapid referral to existing NOAA, national, and global environmental science data files and sources, as well as documentation concerning their quality, quantity, and character. A complementary, literature-based system, Oceanic and Atmospheric Scientific Information System (OASIS), will provide a parallel subject-author-abstract referral service. A telephone call to any EDS data or information center or NOAA library will allow a user to "plug into" this interdisciplinary NOAA data dialog machine.

(a) The Office may issue orders requiring any person or persons named therein:

(1) To appear before a designated representative at a designated time and place to testify, produce documentary evidence, and/or produce other information relating to any transaction involving foreign direct investment; and/or

(2) To file (whether on a continuing basis, at stated intervals, upon the occurrence of specified acts or omissions, or otherwise) reports or answers in writing to specified questions, relating to any matter that is or has been under investigation or inquiry, or is likely to lead to the production of information relating to any such matter.

(b) Any person required to submit any report, whether under this section or under § 1000.602(b) of this chapter, shall preserve, or cause to be preserved, for at least 3 years after the date of filing of such report all working papers, irrespective of by whom prepared, used in the preparation of such report; all exhibits, all schedules, and all attachments to such papers; and all books and all records related to such report or to such other papers, that were prepared in the ordinary course of business.
