<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2019 / Notices
index.shtml. In 2022, NGS will replace
the North American Datum of 1983
(NAD 83) and the North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) with
new geometric reference frames and a
geopotential datum. The new reference
frames and datum will rely primarily on
Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS), such as the Global Positioning
System (GPS), as well as on a
gravimetric geoid model resulting from
the NGS Gravity for the Redefinition of
the American Vertical Datum (GRAV–D)
Project. These new reference frames and
datum will be easier to access and
maintain than NAD 83 and NAVD 88,
which rely on physical survey marks
that deteriorate over time.
On April 18, 2018, NGS issued a draft
Federal Register notice (83 FR 17149)
for public comment on draft policy and
procedures for the State Plane
Coordinate System of 2022 (SPCS2022),
which will be referenced to the 2022
reference frames. In those draft
documents, it was specified that
SPCS2022 parameters will be
exclusively defined using metric (SI)
values. However, in addition to metric
values, the documents stated that output
coordinates could also optionally be
provided in either ‘‘international’’ or
‘‘U.S. survey feet,’’ and that by default
the type of foot would be the same as
currently used for SPCS 83. The official
version of SPCS2022 Policy, effective
April 23, 2019 (https://
geodesy.noaa.gov/INFO/Policy/files/
SPCS2022_Policy_NGS_2019-121401.pdf), states that NGS has not yet
determined whether or what type of foot
will be supported for output coordinates
(Section II.E.1). The policy will be
updated after NIST and NOAA co-issue
a Federal Register notice by June 30,
2020, announcing adoption of the ‘‘foot’’
equal to 0.304 8 meter (exactly) as the
official definition for all applications in
the U.S. after December 31, 2022.
Kevin A. Kimball,
Chief of Staff.
