DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
U.S. Geological Survey
Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC); Public Review of the
United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy
(NCSSA)
AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, Interior.
ACTION: Notice; Request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FGDC is sponsoring a public review of the United States
National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy. The standard
specifies the means of calculating horizontal and vertical accuracy for
map graphics, the method by which accuracy will be tested, the label to
be applied to products that have been tested, and the application of
the standard to map series.
The FGDC anticipates that the final standard will be submitted to
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget for the replacement of the
National Map Accuracy Standards, the last revision of which was issued
by the former Bureau of the Budget in 1947.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 11, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Written comments about the proposed standard should be sent
by mail to NCSSA Review, FGDC Secretariat, U.S. Geological Survey, 590
National Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia 22092; by
Internet to gdc@usgs.gov'', or by facsimile to (703) 648-5755. The
draft standard may be requested from the same mailing or Internet
addresses or facsimile number. Internet users should include their
name, affiliation, mailing address, and telephone number at the bottom
of their message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed standard is based on work
published by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing. The society recommended that the draft replace the existing
National Map Accuracy Standards. The standard has been reviewed by
components of the FGDC, and is now in final review in the committee.
