SUMMARY: This document amends a notice published in the Federal
Register of June 16, 1998, regarding the NOAA Climate and Global

supporting new PACS research projects designed to focus on seasonal-to-

joint initiative between NOAA and the Department of Energy, contingent

ocean CO2 data, with the ultimate goal of estimating the
quantity of anthropogenic CO2 that has been taken up by the
global ocean. The dates for receiving Letters of Intent and full
proposals for these amendments are changed. All other dates remain the
same.

1998.
