Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 13 / Thursday, January 22, 2009 / Notices
heights are the result of a mathematical
least squares general adjustment of the
vertical control portion of the National
Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and
are derived from approximately 105 km
of 1st-Oder, Class II geodetic leveling
observations (15 km on Rota, 60 km on
Saipan and 15 km on Tinian)
undertaken specifically for this project.
The basis for all NMVD 03 heights is
Mean Sea Level, for the epoch 1983–
2001, as determined by the NOS Center
for Operational Oceanographic Products
and Services (CO–OPS), and published
for the National Water Levels
Observation Network (NWLON) bench
mark number 163 3227 UH–2C (1.657
meters), located in Tanapag Harbor.
NMVD 03 height information for
individual geodetic control monuments
is available in digital form, from the
NGS Web site: https://www.ngs.noaa.

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This Notice announces a
decision by the Federal Geographic Data
Committee’s Federal Geodetic Control
Subcommittee, in accordance with the
Office of Management and Budget,
Circular A–16 (https://www.whitehouse.
gov/omb/circulars/a016/a016.html) to
affirm the American Samoa Vertical
Datum of 2002 (ASVD 02) as the official
civilian vertical datum for surveying
and mapping activities for the island of
Tutuila, American Samoa performed or
financed by the Federal Government
and to the extent practicable, legally
allowable and feasible, require that all
Federal agencies, with the exception of
those with specific military related
applications, using or producing vertical
height information undertake an orderly
transition to ASVD 02.
DATES: Individuals or organizations

adoption of ASVD 02 as the official
civilian vertical datum for Tutuila,
American Samoa, should do so by
February 23, 2009.

Requests for additional information
should be directed to David Doyle, Chief
Geodetic Surveyor, National Geodetic
Survey (N/NGS2), 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD, 20910;
Phone: (301) 713–3178.
The
National Ocean Service (NOS), National
Geodetic Survey (NGS), has completed
the definition and implementation of
ASVD 02. ASVD 02 supersedes all
previously published height systems
determined by all Federal surveying and
mapping agencies, with the exception of
those specifically related to tidal datums
and/or military applications for Tutuila.
At this time, ASVD 02 does not apply
to any of the other islands of American
Samoa. ASVD 02 heights are the result
of a mathematical least squares general
adjustment of the vertical control
portion of the National Spatial
Reference System (NSRS) and includes
54 km of 1st-Order, Class II geodetic
leveling observations undertaken
specifically for this project. The basis
for all ASVD 02 heights is Mean Sea
Level, for the epoch 1983–2001, as
determined by the NOS Center for
Operational Oceanographic Products
and Services (CO–OPS), and published
for the National Water Levels
Observation Network (NWLON) bench
mark number177 0000 S (1.364 meters),
located in Pago Pago.
ASVD 02 height information for
individual geodetic control monuments
is available in digital form, from the

subject of the permits; and (3) are
consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA. Authority to take listed species is
subject to conditions set forth in the
permits. Permits and modifications are
issued in accordance with and are
subject to the ESA and NMFS
regulations (50 CFR parts 222–226)
governing listed fish and wildlife
permits.
