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 59 FR 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9,
2009, NTIA along with the Rural

Agriculture, published a Notice of
Funds Availability (NOFA) (74 FR
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33104) announcing procedures for
broadband grant and loan programs
established pursuant to the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), Pub. L. No. 111–5, 123 Stat.
115 (2009). NTIA established the
Broadband Technology Opportunities
Program (BTOP) to make available
grants for deploying broadband
infrastructure in unserved and
underserved areas in the United States,
enhancing broadband capacity at public
computer centers, and promoting
sustainable broadband adoption
projects.
The application requirements for the
BTOP contained in the NOFA are an
information collection subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act. However, when the
NOFA was submitted for publication,
the collection of information had not yet
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
Subsequently, NTIA received OMB
approval for this collection of
information. NTIA announces that the
collection of information is approved
under OMB Control Number 0660–0031,
with an expiration date of January 31,
2010. This collection of information was
approved by OMB in accordance with
the emergency processing provisions
under 5 CFR § 1320.13 to allow NTIA to
fulfill its ARRA requirements.
In the BTOP NOFA, NTIA requested
public comments on the collection of
information specifically for the BTOP
Infrastructure, Public Computer Center,
and Sustainable Adoption programs.
(See 74 FR at 33128 – 33129). The
comments requested will be utilized as
a part of a request by NTIA, if it decides
to continue to use this collection past
the approved emergency request
clearance time period. At that time,
NTIA would resubmit a collection of
information request to OMB in
accordance with the review process
provided in the regulations
implementing the Paperwork Reduction
Act. A specific comment deadline was
inadvertently not included in the BTOP
NOFA and is hereby announced in this
notice. Comments are due by August 31,
2009.
