	USATODAY.com - Proposed bill would change National Weather Service
		When the rule changed, the NWS and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), expanded into areas already served by the commercial weather industry, according to Santorum's office.
		Under the proposed legislation, the NWS would be allowed to offer particular types of services only if the private sector does not offer them — a provision similar to rules that guided the agency for 14 years until last year.
		The bill has drawn criticism from those who say it unfairly favors private weather providers, and would endanger the public by preventing the dissemination of certain weather data.

	Storm brewing over online data from National Weather Service - Computerworld
		But last December, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) -- the parent agency of the NWS -- changed the weather service's noncompetition and nonduplication policy, removing the language that prohibited competition with the private companies.
