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 Guam Vertical Datum of 2004
(GUVD 04) as the official civilian
vertical datum for surveying and
mapping activities for the island of
Guam 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 GUVD 04.

The
National Ocean Service (NOS), National
Geodetic Survey (NGS), has completed
the definition and implementation of
GUVD 04. GUVD 04 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. GUVD 04
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 132 km
of 1st-Order, Class II geodetic leveling
observations undertaken specifically for
this project. The basis for all GUVD 04
heights is Mean Sea Level, for the
National Tidal Datum 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 0000 TIDAL 4 (2.170
meters), located in Apra Harbor.
GUVD 04 height information for
individual geodetic control monuments
is available in digital form, from the
NGS Web site: https://www.ngs.noaa.
gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl.
