SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Spatial Data 

Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements 

Program (NSDI CAP). 

OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW. 

Abstract: To date, the NSDI CAP 

awards have created collaborations at all 

levels of government, developed an 

understanding of geospatial information 

in organizations and disciplines new to 

the NSDI, provided seed money to 

enable geospatial organizations to 

participate in the national effort to 

implement the NSDI, promoted the 

development of standardized metadata 

in hundreds of organizations, and 

funded numerous implementations of 

OGC Web Mapping Services and Web 

Feature Services. The program is open 

to State, local and tribal governments, 

academia, and commercial and nonprofit organizations and provides small 

seed grants to initiate sustainable ongoing NSDI implementations. The 

program emphasizes partnerships, 

collaboration and the leveraging of 

geospatial resources in achieving its 

goals. Since the funding level is limited, 

organizations must compete to be 

awarded funds. Respondents are 

submitting proposals to acquire funding 

for projects to help build the 

infrastructure necessary for the 

geospatial data community to effectively 

discover, access, share, manage, and use 

digital geographic data. 

The NSDI consists of the technologies, 

policies, organizations, and people 

necessary to promote cost-effective 

production, and the ready availability 

and greater utilization of geospatial data 

among a variety of sectors, disciplines, 

and communities. Specific NSDI areas 

of emphasis include: metadata 

documentation, clearinghouse 

establishment, framework development, 

standards implementation, and 

geographic information system (GIS) 

organizational coordination. 

This notice concerns the collection of 

information that is sufficient and 

relevant to evaluate and select proposals 

for funding. We will protect information 

from respondents considered 

proprietary under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its 

implementing regulations (43 CFR Part 

2), and under regulations at 30 CFR 

250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be 

made available to the public or for 

limited inspection.’’ Responses are 

voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’

nature are asked. We intend to release 

the project abstracts and primary 

investigators for awarded/funded 

projects only.
