The National Weather Service (NWS) is soliciting comments

    reports.
  - Record Event Reports (RER) for record event reporting.
  - Climate (CLI) Text Products for routine climate reports.
  - Daily Summary Messages (DSM) Automated Surface Observing
    System (ASOS) Text Products for daily summaries of
    temperature and precipitation from which the current RTP
    and CLI are constructed.
  - Hydrometeorological Data Report (RR3) for cooperative
    observations.
  - METAR Products (MTR) for routine METAR observations with
    temperature and precipitation data.
