DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Geological Survey

Federal Geographic Data Committee

(FGDC); Public Comment on the

Proposal To Develop the

‘‘Environmental Hazards Geospatial

Data Content Standard’’ as a Federal

Geographic Data Committee Standard

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

SUMMARY: The FGDC is soliciting public

comments on the proposal to develop a

‘‘Environmental Hazards Geospatial

Data Content Standard.’’ If the proposal

is approved, the standard will be

developed following the FGDC

standards development and approval

process. If the standard is adopted by

the FGDC, it must be followed by all

Federal agencies collecting

environmental hazards geospatial data

directly or indirectly, through grants,

partnerships, or contracts.

In its assigned Federal leadership in

the development of the National Spatial

Data Infrastructure (NSDI), the FGDC

recognizes that FGDC standards must

also meet the needs and recognize the

views of State and local governments,

academia, industry, and the public. The

purpose of this notice is to solicit such

views. The FGDC invites the community

to review the proposal and comment on

the objectives, scope, approach,

usability of the proposed standard;

identify existing related standards; and

indicate their participating in the

development of the standard.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before October 3, 1997.

CONTACT AND ADDRESSES: The complete

proposal is included in this notice. It is

also posted at Internet address: http://

www.fgdc.gov/pub/standards/Hazards/

envhzpro.txt

Comments may be submitted via

Internet mail or by submitting an

electronic copy on diskette. Send

comments via Internet to: gdchazards@www.fgdc.gov. Comments emailed as attachments must be in ASCII

format.

A soft copy version may be submitted

on a 3.5×3.5 diskette in WordPerfect 5.0

or 6.0/6.1 format, along with one

hardcopy version of the comments, to

the FGDC Secretariat (attn: Jennifer Fox)

Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive,

Reston, Virginia, 20192.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Following

is the complete proposal for the

Environmental Hazards Geospatial Data

Content Standard.

Date of Proposal: May 1997.

Submitting Organization: FGDC

Facilities Working Group (FWG).

Point of Contact: Nancy Blyler (202)

761–8893.

Objectives: To develop a nationally

focused Environmental Hazards

Geospatial Data Content Standard

(hereafter called Environmental Hazards

Standard) that will establish a

consistent approach to sharing

information about natural and manmade

substances, materials, and conditions

that are, or have the potential to be,

detrimental to ecosystems on the earth.

Goals: 1. To compile common

definitions for environmental hazard

data that will facilitate the effective, use,

understanding, and automation of

geospatial information.

2. To standardize entities, attributes,

and domain values that will improve

the creation, management and data

sharing of environmental hazard data.

3. To resolve discrepancies related to

the use of similar terms, thereby

minimizing duplication within and

among systems.

Scope: The environmental hazards

standard will address data concerning

the evaluation and investigation of the

existence of environmental hazards,

monitoring the presence of hazards,

preparedness and protection from

hazards, and remediation of their

effects. This standard will include the

management of information about

chemical and biological substances,

hazardous materials, and physical

conditions that affect the earth’s

ecosystems, including air, soil, and

water systems (both surface water and

ground water). This standard will not

address natural disasters (e.g.,

volcanoes, earthquakes).

Justification/Benefits: There is no

national geospatial data content

standard for environmental hazards. A

comprehensive data content standard

supporting the study, management, and

remediation of environmental hazards
