> Interim Annual Tape Request Form
> FY98
>
>Until recently tapes for experiments were purchased by many institutions.
>Each experiment handled the split among institutions differently. A new
>policy will soon be put into place that will have Fermilab responsible for
>the purchase of all tapes which will permanently reside in the Feynman
>Computing Center. The Computing Division has been given the responsibility
>of purchasing and tracking these tapes. A complete policy is not yet
>available.
>
>In order to start the process, information must to be gathered to understand
>how many tapes will be required and when they will be required. That is the
>purpose of this form. This process, somewhat more formalized, will be
>repeated on at least a yearly basis, probably during the summer.
>
>For planning purposes, the Computing Division needs to know how many tapes
>experiments and Divisions intend to vault permanently in Feynman as soon as
>possible in the budget process. We would like to have information from
>those of you who plan to need substantial numbers of tapes by November 13,
>so that we will have the numbers for the Computing Division budget review.
>Please fill out this form to the best of your current knowledge. If your
>understanding of your requirements changes during the year, please let us
>know immediately. We will ask you to fill out an additional form so we can
>update your request. Forms are not required for less than 50 tapes. We
>will review the requests to ensure that they are consistent with the needs
>of the experiments.
>
>If you try to withdraw more tapes than requested (and budgeted in the annual
>request), we will require additional approval from the Director's Office and
>back charges against budget codes may be involved.
>
>This form is available from the Computing Division home page under forms.
>Please return this form to compdiv@fnal.gov or to MS 120.
>
>Requests must be made in terms of media types approved in existing
>Memoranda of Understanding.
