ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The National Geodetic Survey
(NGS) will publish North American
Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) State Plane
Coordinate (SPC) grid values in both
meters and U.S. Survey Feet (1 ft =
1200/3937 m) in Kansas, for all well
defined geodetic survey control
monuments maintained by NGS in the
National Spatial Reference System
(NSRS) and computed from various
geodetic positioning utilities. The
adoption of this standard is
implemented in accordance with NGS
policy and a request from the Kansas
Department of Transportation, the
Kansas Society of Land Surveyors, and
the Kansas Information technology
Office.
DATES: Individuals or organizations
wishing to submit comments on the
Publication of North American Datum of
1983 State Plane Coordinates in feet in
Kansas, should do so by December 26,
2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract
In 1991, NGS adopted a policy that
defines the conditions under which
NAD 83 State Plane Coordinates (SPCs)
would be published in feet in addition
to meters. As outlined in that policy,
each state or territory must adopt NAD
83 legislation (typically referenced as
Codes, Laws or Statutes), which
specifically defines a conversion to
either U.S. Survey or International Feet
as defined by the U.S. Bureau of
Standards in Federal Register Notice
59–5442. To date, 48 states have
adopted the NAD 83 legislation
however, for various reasons, only 33
included a specific definition of the
relationship between meters and feet.
This lack of uniformity has led to
confusion and misuse of SPCs as
provided in various NGS products,
services and tools, and created errors in
mapping, charting and surveying
programs in numerous states due to
inconsistent coordinate conversions.
