statutory duties imposed upon the
Department of the Interior and the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Shirley S. Smith, 202–208–7160.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
was established initially by section 3 of
the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 667;
16 U.S.C. 463), and has been in
existence almost continuously since
then. Pursuant to Public Law 111–8, the
legislative authorization will expire
January 1, 2010. However, due to the
importance of the issues on which the
Board advises, in the event the Board is
not extended by legislation prior to that
termination date, the Secretary of the
Interior intends to exercise the authority
contained in Section 3 of Public Law
91–383 (16 U.S.C. 1a–2(c)) to reestablish and continue the Board as a
discretionary committee from January 1,
2010, until such time as it may be
legislatively reauthorized. If the Board is
renewed legislatively after January 1,
2010, the discretionary Board will revert
to a legislative Board.
The advice and recommendations
provided by the Board and its
subcommittees fulfill an important need
within the Department of the Interior
and the National Park Service, and it is
necessary to re-establish the Board to

disciplines and expertise relevant to the
National Park Service mission. The reestablishment of the Board comports
with the requirements of the Federal

U.S.C., Appendix), and follows
consultation with the General Services
Administration.

seq., and other statutes relating to the
administration of the National Park
System.

I. Abstract
During FY10, the NGP of the USGS
will provide funding under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) for the collection of
orthoimagery and elevation data. We
will accept applications from State,
local or tribal governments and
academic institutions to advance the
development of The National Map and
other national geospatial databases. This
effort will support our need to
supplement ongoing data collection
activities to respond to an increasing
demand for more accurate and current
elevation data and orthoimagery. To
submit a proposal, a completed project
narrative and application must be
submitted via Grants.gov. Grant
recipients must complete a final
technical report at the end of the project
period. All application instructions and
forms are available on the Internet
through Grants.gov (http://
www.grants.gov). Hard/paper
submissions and electronic copies
submitted via e-mail will not be
accepted under any circumstances. All
reports will be accepted electronically
via e-mail.
