Here is NCBI's genome annotation policy, which has a link to this form for folks to request genomes to be annotated.
Submitted a request for them to annotate the Dungeness crab genome, and this is their response:
We currently do not have a publicly available eukaryotic genome annotation pipeline for GenBank genome sequence submission.
The in-house NCBI eukaryotic genome annotation pipeline is used for a small set of selected RefSeq genomes, as described in the annotation policy guidelines at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/policy/.
Additional details about NCBI's eukaryotic genome annotation pipeline are available In the Eukaryotic Genome Annotation chapter of the NCBI Handbook (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK169439/). .__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!kEj3M1RcemqqQ9ZzJw6_EItGMT74vUN01fUA5M8QGKCPaV1BdbxHl2b4Ii_1qKirN7-xoFY-EDstyrnr3DCTSw$)
If you like, you can annotate your genomes sequence as described at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/eukaryotic_genome_submission_annotation/
Please contact the Genomes Submissions staff at genomes@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov if you have additional questions about your genome sequence submission.
Asked NCBI how a genome becomes a "RefSeq" genome. They pointed me back to this policy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/policy/
