National Ocean Survey Explanation: pretty sure this is what it refers to. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2004-04-18 19:26:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Contaminants can impact natural resources, public health and the economy. Most enter the environment from industrial and commercial facilities; oil and chemical spills; non-point sources such as roads, parking lots, and storm drains; and wastewater treatment plants and sewage systems. Many hazardous waste sites and industrial facilities have been contaminated for decades and continue to impact the environment. http://www.oceanservice.noaa.gov/topics/coasts/contaminants/... It could also be National Ocean Service, the two are related. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2004-04-18 19:28:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Guess I wasted my time in view of the new context you provided.

not otherwise specified Explanation: many entries in Google Student: What does the abbreviation “n.o.s.” in a DOT hazardous material proper shipping name mean? And what about “n.o.i.” and “n.o.i.b.n.”? Student: I am starting a job that will require me to clean up crime scenes, such as old meth labs, and scenes of violent crimes, after the police have collected evidence. What kind of training do I need? SCM: This is actually a fairly common question and one which the answer to is pretty important. If you look in the DOT regulations under the definitions section, 49 CFR 171.8, you will find that the definition of n.o.s. is "not otherwise specified". This abbreviation is used for chemicals that are either mixtures of hazardous materials or possibly new hazardous materials that have not been give their own proper shipping name. What they put instead is a description of the hazards of the material (e.g. Corrosive, acidic, inorganic n.o.s.). For new materials the use of n.o.s. is only temporary until an official number has been assigned The abbreviations "n.o.i." and "n.o.i.b.n." mean the same thing as the n.o.s. These however mean "not otherwise indicated" and "not otherwise indicated by name". www.chem.purdue.edu/chemsafety/hmtable.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 13 mins (2004-04-18 23:07:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Notice No. 96-10...
