NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Imagery for the Nation Support, authorization and funding (new funds) from Congress to implement a sustained national program for the collection, maintenance, distribution and archive of aerial imagery that meets on-going local, state, and federal program requirements. Support the FGDC in its efforts to design a national imagery. The Council will seek authorization and recurring appropriations for the program designed by the FGDC if it meets the business needs of state and local governments. The Council will inform and support the States to ensure their compliance with the business planning processes of the proposed Imagery for the Nation program.

NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Cadastral (Parcel) Mapping The Council will seek, support, and advocate for federal activities and legislation that will work to implement key recommendations of the National Academy’s report entitled “National Land Parcel Data: A Vision for the Future.”

NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Cadastral (Parcel) Mapping The NGAC should review OMB Circular A16 and make recommendations to optimize federal involvement. NGAC should also make recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of state and local government. The FGDC should support the standardization of local parcel data through CAP Grants to support the Fifty States Initiative. Congress should pass the FLAIR act to create a unified database of federal land holdings and provide cost sharing for local parcel data development. Congress should revise Title 13 to allow the Census Bureau to share its property address and coordinate data with state and local government.

NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Transportation for the Nation Support and advocate for a coordinated, standards- driven approach to the development of a nationwide roadway transportation network that meets the majority of the needs. Support and advocate new and existing efforts that leverage funding and labor resource economies of scale to integrate multiple stakeholder needs related to the creation, maintenance, management, and usability of transportation GIS data. Support and advocate partnerships with nationwide transportation organizations that advocate and support roadway transportation geospatial needs and solutions

NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Technology for the 21 st Century This year, two primary technology issues facing the nation are national broadband infrastructure and federal eGovernment implementation. NSGIC will advocate with the Federal Communications Commission to support detailed reporting by carriers and broad public access to data related to public access to high-speed Internet services.
