SUMMARY OF ALL DATA REQUESTS 
(REIMBURSABLE WORK) 
During FY-63, the NODC completed 51 reimbursable requests for data from 25 different 
activities; 10 additional requests were in work at the close of the fiscal year. In addition, reim- 
bursable funds for such projects as WDC-A, Oceanography, personnel assisting on surveys, and 
other ‘‘special’’ funds were received. These are not included as ‘‘request’’ items. Funds received 
for the projects totaled about $220,000. This represents a monetary increase of about 10 times 
the reimbursable monies received for requests in Fiscal Year 1962. The following table shows by 
percentage the types of services provided.

The trend toward more complex analytical or interpretive requests which was expected in 
Fiscal Year 1962 developed in Fiscal Year 1963; however, the expected diversification in the types 
of data requests did not materialize. It is expected that as processed geological and biological 
data become available in future years, requests for these types of data will grow. Reimbursable 
items received during the Fiscal Year are summarized in Table 2, and completed requests are itemized 
in Table 3.
