APPENDIX D PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR DOCUMENTS ON ATMOSPHERIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING Documents pertinent to the continental and oceanic series of atmospheric nuclear tests can be located at the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) and at the Department of Energy Coordination and Information Center (CIC), introduced in section 3.1.2. This appendix provides detail on both of these resources. D.1 NATIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION SERVICE. The National Technical Information Service, an agency of the Department of Commerce, is the central source for the public sale of Government-sponsored research reports and analyses. The NTIS Bibliographic Data Base consists of documents from a number of Government agencies but primarily from the DOE, DOD, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The agency supplies its customers with about 23,000 information products daily and approximately 4 million documents and microforms annually. The NTIS information collection comprises over 1 million titles, all of which can be purchased under the provisions of Title 15 U.S. Code 1151-7. This law established NTIS as a clearinghouse for scientific, technical, and engineering information and directed the agency to recover its costs through the sale of information and services. Documents available for purchase at NTIS include the 41-volume history of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing developed by DNA as part of the NTPR program. Appendix E lists these volumes according to title, DNA number, date of publication, number of pages, NTIS price code, and NTIS order number. Other NTIS materials relevant to the nuclear testing program are the over 1,000 documents declassified by DNA in partial fulfillment of NTPR tasking. The agency address is: National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. The telephone number (703) 487-4650 should be used when the caller has the NTIS order number and the price code. The caller should dial (703) 487-4780 when he or she does not have this information for a document. ‘ yt 213
