Sec. 996.30  Use of the NOAA emblem.





    (a) Use of the NOAA emblem on certified hydrographic products 

requires separate written permission. Use of the NOAA emblem must 

satisfy an interest of the Agency, and must not result in embarrassment 

to the Agency or the Department. If the NOAA emblem is used on products 

that include other data or products, clear indication shall be made as 

to what is NOAA certified, and what is not NOAA certified. The inclusion 

of other data or products will not constitute any endorsement of, or 

favoritism toward, the other data or products by NOAA. Requests for use 

of the NOAA emblem shall be submitted in writing to the Quality 

Assurance Program address, and shall include:

    (1) Name and description of the hydrographic product(s) on which the 

emblem will be displayed.

    (2) Name and contact information for the entity requesting use of 

the NOAA emblem.
