## NILS Parcel Management Module Status and Update

***September, 2006***

## Agenda

- Energy Act implementation and USFS use of AFMSS, LR2000 and NILS.
- How is LR2000 information extracted and processed for NILS PM_LD, internal GeoCommunicator, and the external GeoCommunicator?
- Quick review of what is in NILS PM
- What is coming in NILS PM_LD Version 4.0?
- USFS Data Integration (R4 Pilot)
- What parcel management -land description (PM_LD) data are in NILS and who is using it?
- How does the National Lease Sale System use NILS PM_LD?
- Expanding the LR2000 Project Change Management Board (PCMB) to encompass NILS Parcel Management

## Energy Bill

**SEC. 363 CONSULTATION REGARDING OIL AND GAS LEASING ON PUBLIC LAND.**
- 		**(a) In General--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall enter in to a memorandum of understanding regarding oil and gas leasing on Public and National Forest System lands**

## Energy Bill

**(b) Contents.- The memorandum of understanding shall include provisions that-**
**	****	****(5) establish a joint geographic information system mapping system for use in-****	**
**	****	****	****(A) tracking surface resources values to aid in ****	****resource management; and **
**	****	****	****(B) processing surface use plans of operation ****	****and application for permits to drill **

## USFS Users to use:

**BLM & USFS:****Integrating Data Assets & Business Processes**

## NILS/LR2000 Web Services

- Developing web services interfaces between NILS and LR2000 to streamline updates and facilitate data synchronization

##         How is LR 2000 information extracted and processed by the NILS PM_LD application, and published to both internal GeoCommunicator, and the external GeoCommunicator?

## PM Data

**Cases That Affect Land Status **
**Mining Claim **
**Oil & Gas Agreements **
**Oil & Gas Leases**
**Coal Leases**
**Solid Mineral Leases**
**Right of Ways**
**Geothermal Leases**
**Geothermal Agreements**
**Use Leases and Permits**
**Mineral Materials Disposal**
**Surface Management Agency**
**Parcel Fabric Alternate Source**
**Stipulations**
**Range Allotment**

**Case Parcel Features  **
**Derived from LR2000 Databases**

**Collected from other agencies, states**

**GCDB into NILS LD and SMMM module **

**Legal Description (LD) Fabric**

## Creating Case Parcel Features from LR2000

**Creating Case Parcel Features from LR2000**

**EXTRACT**

**CREATE**

## LR2000/NILS/Geocomm Data Update Process

## Import Status

- Parcel Fabric: 4+ million cases (72%)
- Missing Parcel Fabric may be due to:
- Unsupported Survey Types                  Will provide support for remainder in FY07
- Missing LD Fabric                                 Will add alternate source data to LD fabric
- Poorly formed legal descriptions
- 						Will provide tools for manual reconciliation
- 	Complex legal descriptions

## Next Steps for completing electronic parcel creation

**Obtain additional alternate source data**
**Provide data creation tools for metes and bounds**
**Pilot in Idaho using COTS**

## Parcel Fabric Alternate Source (PFAS) Overview

- LD Fabric is from GCDB or NILS SMMM module
- ‘Holes’ in the LD Fabric are being filled in by Parcel Fabric Alternate Source
- To be used by Create process as alternate building blocks
- Case data will store if created from LD Fabric, PFAS, or combination

## PFAS – Replacement by SM/MM

- SM/MM uses PFAS data as a reference in the creation of Legal Description Fabric when not all information is available in the Survey Fabric
- The SM/MM recreates the PFAS data from survey grade data
- Once the Survey Fabric has been reproduced, the PFAS data is flagged as duplicated by the* SM/MM Process*

## Quick Review of What is in the NILS PMModule

## PM Tools

**Zoom to Township**
- Dialog  to change map interest area to extent of township(s)
- Township can be in current job, admin state, or user specified in the admin state

*Create a new PM feature based on legal description being queried*
**Select by Location PM and/or LD Data**
**LR2000 Reporting Capabilities**
