NSPS provides input to NSDI plan

On August 26, NSPS government affairs representative John "JB" Byrd participated in a meeting of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to provide comments and feedback on the draft National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) strategic plan update. Last week, NSPS submitted formal comments on the Draft NSDI to the FGDC. The current version of the draft proposal may be found here. Byrd commented that the USGS 3DEP, NOAA Height Modernization and geodesy framework programs, and a national parcel system should be highlighted as critical framework layers, while repeating the call to have underground infrastructure/utility location data added as a new framework layer in the NSDI.
