Supplementary Information
Meetings of the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive Advisory Committee are open to the public. The required lead time for notification of this meeting could not be met due to an unforseen need to move the meeting to an alternate and earlier date. Inadequate motel and commercial airline connections to Sioux Falls, South Dakota forced the rescheduling of the Committee Meeting to the only available date given the conflicts with Sioux Falls accommodations.
