Interagency data standards are due within 30 months
What the document says“Not later than 30 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretaries, in coordination with the Federal Geographic Data Committee established by section 753(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (43 U.S.C. 2802(a)), shall jointly develop and adopt interagency standards to ensure compatibility and interoperability among applicable Federal databases”
Within 30 months of enactment, the two Secretaries must jointly develop and adopt interagency standards, in coordination with the Federal Geographic Data Committee established by section 753(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (43 U.S.C. 2802(a)). The standards are for compatibility and interoperability among applicable Federal databases, with respect to the collection and dissemination of geospatial data relating to public outdoor recreational access of Federal waterways and Federal fishing restrictions.
What the document actually says“Not later than 30 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretaries, in coordination with the Federal Geographic Data Committee established by section 753(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (43 U.S.C. 2802(a)), shall jointly develop and adopt interagency standards to ensure compatibility and interoperability among applicable Federal databases”
The two leaders must write shared data rules. The rules must let agency data sets work with each other. They have 30 months. They work with a data group set up by an older law.
Each agency keeps its own map data now. Shared rules let the sets fit as one. The data covers boating and fishing on federal waters. Section 4 says what must then be put online.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
