On April 16, 2011, NWS signed internal policy document NWSI 1-1003, 
Provision of Environmental Information Services Supporting Mobile 
Devices. This document describes the NWS approach for providing 
environmental information services supporting mobile devices and 
provides procedural guidelines to ensure these services are developed 
in a manner that adheres to appropriate U.S. government policies and 
maximizes the effectiveness of NWS resources.
 
The public was given an opportunity to review and comment on a draft 
version of this document.  Based on this review, as well as review 
internal to NWS, a final document was developed.  Both the final policy 
document and an analysis of comments received may be accessed at:

Content of the policy document represents the best efforts of NWS to 
recognize the views of internal interests as well as the views of 
others in the weather enterprise.
