WATER RESOURCES DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO. 97.16

Subject:  Release of the National Training Center Policy and 
          Procedures Manual

The Division periodically has released a numbered memorandum describing the
current operational procedures of the National Training Center (NTC), the
latest of which was WRD Memorandum No. 95.54.  

The Branch of Technical Development and Quality Sytems is responsible for
managing the NTC.  The Branch has prepared the attached NTC Policy and
Procedures Manual which will replace issuing the periodic WRD Memorandum
mentioned above.  The manual  contains copies of all of the current
policies for the NTC. By the end of March, a copy may be accessed at the
NTC home page on the World Wide Web, at URL:  

http://wwwbtdqs.cr.usgs.gov 

When policies for the NTC change, a revised policy statement will be
prepared and distributed to the same distribution codes as this memorandum.
 

As mentioned above, this portion of the home page site will be operational
by the end of March.  At that time, you will be able to update your
personal copy of the manual by looking at the index on the home page that
includes a list of the most recent revision numbers and their effective
dates.  Upon request, the NTC will furnish you with a list of the current
policies and provide you with copies as needed to update your copy of the
manual.
