In
accordance with the Coast and Geodetic
Survey Act, 33 U.S.C. 883 et seq., and
the Hydrographic Services Improvement
Act, 33 U.S.C. 892 et seq., NOAA
promulgates standards and
specifications for hydrographic data in
the HSSD in order to ensure safe and
efficient navigation in support of our
maritime economy. NOAA has revised
the HSSD to better accommodate new
and developing technologies and
increasing amounts of externallysourced hydrographic data submissions.
The revised HSSD facilitates more
streamlined workflows via critical
metadata tags and universal data
licenses, and is better integrated with
the NBS program, for a more efficient
means of product generation and public
access to our national bathymetry.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA’s) Office of Coast Survey (OCS)
requests public comment from all
interested parties on a draft of the
newly-revised Hydrographic Survey
Specifications and Deliverables
document (HSSD). The HSSD has been
rewritten to be more forward looking
with respect to new and developing
technologies, best facilitate the use of
automated tools, and better integrate
with the S–100 based products and the
National Bathymetric Source (NBS),
which is the OCS database for bestavailable bathymetry. Additionally, the
revised HSSD will better accommodate
the increasing amounts of hydrographic
data obtained from external sources,
