NOAA Circulars
NOAA Circulars disseminate policy and procedural instructions for a limited audience or for a limited time period (e.g., policy and procedures for a new or modified program may be issued on an interim basis pending further program development that will be issued in an NAO, handbook, or manual at a later time). Subjects covered in the Circular series include, but are not limited to, the following:
- citing specific information such as the locations of all NOAA Conference Rooms in a geographical location;
- establishing short-term programs;
- establishing interim procedures and responsibilities pending development of the durable items and their publication as an NAO or handbook/manual; and
- revising NOAA's organization and related code structures.
The NOAA Administrative Issuances website gives NOAA employees online access to NOAA Circulars published by calendar year.
This website will be updated as circulars are approved and published.
