Thanks for posting these, Boris. There are few comments here or at WX-TALK and such but it's appreciated and some of do use the heads up. How many or how often are sites decommissioned?

Decommissioning of AWOS sites is rather uncommon, but does happen when an airport is closed permanently, as one example. New sites are commissioned often, on a irregular basis but I'd say averaging 4-6 a month. Just b/c they are commissioned does not mean their METARs are available through NCEP. That is up to the owner of the AWOS to fund long line communications on NADIN so the METARs are made available. Right now, there are about 500 AWOS sites that I know of that do not have NADIN service in the U.S.
