(NCDC) will utilize the East-West Center (EWC) as the incubation facility
for the new NOAA Integrated Environmental Applications
Information Center (NIEAIC)
 NCDC’s US GCOS Program Office will utilize its existing contract with
Riverside Technology, Inc. (RTi) to aid in this effort
 EWC will be a sub-contractor to RTi for an initial 18-month task contract;
initial task order for NIEAIC spin-up activities at EWC from July 15, 2005
