It should be stated in general ms, however, so as to avoid the necessity of preparing new forms frequently because of ~ignificant changes in procedure or reporting instructions. One or more of the items ~ted below will cover the activities at most substations, but others might be included ~o. For example, "Communication facilities for transmission of reports" might be fur- shed by an airline operating company or a Government agency. Suitable space for exposure of instruments.

The same procedure should be followed where a Government agency agrees to render a cooperative service, except in the case of Federal Aviation Agency personnel where this form is not required. Two separate appointments and/or agreements for services of one person must not be in effect at the same time; therefore, when both a paid and a cooperative service are to be rendered, the action should be effected on NOAA Form 36-14. The name and last date of service of the former observer, displayman, etc., if any, should be indicated in the spaces provided. When the form is submitted to cover the termination of an agreement, the agreement state- ment starting with "I agree to give reasonable etc." will be stricke~ out and the follow- ing will be inserted, above the line provided for the observer's signature "to terminate the agreement with dated ." A brief explanation of the reason for the termination will be given in the "remarks". When the form is submitted to cover the termination of an agreement, it is desirable but not necessary to obtain the signature of the employee. If the reason for the termination is resignation and a letter or other written evidence of the resignation has been received, it s]hould be attached. If the resignation was oral, a note to that effect should be made in the remarks. 980-665-1 ! 5Jl 047-6
