...Phase one of the NWS communications identifier transition to be
implemented on June 8 2004...

Effective Tuesday June 8 2004 at 1200 coordinated Universal time
/UTC/...National Weather Service /NWS/ weather forecast office /wfo/
in Reno will change communications identifiers /Cid/ for several
routine public products. This change is part of a National Effort to
standardize the cids for all products issued by the NWS. Most of the
changes involve either updating the issuing office identifier to its
modernized ID...or standardizing the wmo heading. The product
categories being changed on June 8 comprise phase one of the Cid
change transition.  Other phases will follow until all NWS cids are
standardized.

For wfo Reno, the following changes will be implemented in phase one:

Product name                old identifier       new identifier
------------                --------------       --------------
recreation forecast         sxus45 krev recrno   sxus45 krev recrev
coded cities forecast       sxus45 krev ccfrno   sxus45 krev ccfrev
preliminary accident report nous55 krev oavrno   nous55 krev oavrev

from multiple wfos in the western United States...a comprehensive
