ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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 Nebraska, 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 Nebraska
State Surveyor, Nebraska Department of
Roads, the Professional Surveyors
Association of Nebraska.
DATES: Individuals or organizations
wishing to submit comments on the
Publication of North American Datum of
1983 State Plane Coordinates in feet in
Nebraska, should do by January 28,
2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the attention of David Doyle,

SUMMARY:
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.

Science Program Revised Research Plan
Summary is being published in the
Federal Register for a 60-day public
comment period. The public comments
received on the Revised Research Plan
Summary will be considered during the
preparation of the final Revised
Research Plan as well as the Scientific
Assessment document required by
Section 106 of the GCRA. The final
version of the full Revised Research
Plan will be published on the CCSP web
site. Public comments received on the
Revised Research Plan Summary will be
made available upon request.

Summary of Revised Research Plan for
the US Climate Change Science
Program (CCSP)
About the Revised Research Plan
This Revised Research Plan is an
update to the 2003 Strategic Plan of the
US Climate Change Science Program
(CCSP) (https://www.climatescience.gov/
Library/stratplan2003/final/
default.htm), a document which was
developed via a thorough, open and
transparent multi-year process involving
a wide range of scientists and managers.
A significant part of this process was the
review of both the draft and final plan
by the National Academy of Sciences
(https://www.nap.edu/
catalog.php?recordlid=11565 for the
draft plan; https://www.nap.edu/
catalog.php?recordlid=10635 for the
final plan). These reviews played an
important role in influencing the 2003
Strategic Plan’s development.
The Strategic Plan has long-term
value to CCSP, but like any strategic
plan, it must be supplemented by
shorter-term revisions that take into
account both advances in the science
and changes in societal needs, and
CCSP has an ongoing long-range
strategic planning process to ensure that
these needs are met. The Revised
Research Plan (hereinafter referred to as
the Research Plan) draws on CCSP’s
long-range planning process and
provides this update, in compliance
with the terms of the Global Change
Research Act (GCRA) of 1990.
In the Research Plan, the reader will
find several things: (1) an updated
statement of vision, goals and
capabilities consistent with CCSP’s
current Strategic Plan but reflecting both
scientific progress and the evolution of
the Program based on accomplishments
and evolving societal and
environmental needs; (2) a description
of the relationship of the Research Plan
to the current Scientific Assessment; (3)
highlights of ways in which the program
