Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee FY
07 Work Plan
2007
Agency Name: NOAA/National Geodetic Survey Lead: Dave
Zilkoski
Subcommittee: Federal Geodetic Control
Subcommittee
Background: The Federal Geodetic Control
Subcommittee (FGCS) of the Federal Geographic Data Committee exercises
government-wide leadership in coordinating the planning and execution
of geodetic surveys, in developing standards and specifications for
these surveys, and in the exchange of geodetic survey data and
technical information. FGCS coordinates Federal agencies' aspects of
surveying that are governmental responsibilities. These
responsibilities include standards setting, testing new geodetic
instrumentation and operational systems, coordination of user agency
requirements, and dissemination of government data to user
agencies.
Objectives: Reconstitute FGCS
Justification/Legal Mandate: OMB A-16, revised, states that
DOC/NOAA is responsible for Geodetic Control. Geodetic control provides
a common reference system for establishing coordinates for all
geographic data. All NSDI framework data and users' applications data
require geodetic control to accurately register spatial data. The
National Spatial Reference System is the fundamental geodetic control
for the United States.
Benefits: Coordination of government offices to
address disaster preparedness and response
Scope of Work: Reconvene FGCS and develop current
workplan
