NOAA Conducting a Survey

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey is seeking to determine whether USPS members are satisfied with the products and services they have received, and whether they have suggestions as to how the services can be improved or made more useful. This information will be used to improve NOAA products and services. Email messages have been sent to USPS members asking that they would complete the survey.

A link is shown below to a questionnaire which can be completed on line. This survey should take no more than 10 minutes time – it has been designed with check boxes so it should be easy to complete. 

Please click on the following link to access the questionnaire.  You will be asked for a password, which will be your email address.

All data collected in this survey will be analyzed according to the specifications of the Market Research Society’s Code of Conduct, which assures confidentiality to those participating in the survey.  The information provided by answering the questionnaire will only be used for statistical analysis.

When you have completed the questionnaire please click on the “SUBMIT” button, then wait for the NOAA Website to show.  This will ensure we receive your responses.  Strategy, Research & Action Inc, a company that specializes in research on Charts and other Cartographic products, will receive the sent surveys and analyze the questionnaires and provide NOAA with the statistical results.  Please complete the survey by the 15th May, 2009.

If you have any comments regarding this survey or any other aspect of this collection of information, please contact Matthew Kroll, National Ocean Service, 1315 East-West Highway, SSMC3, Room 6360, N/CS5, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.
