I. Abstract

We provide this notice under Section
10 of the Act and NEPA regulations (40
CFR 1506.6).

USGS supports some of the most
pressing resource management,
environmental and climate change
science issues faced by our Nation.
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is
the leading technology for collecting
highly accurate three-dimensional
measurements of the Earth’s topography
and surface features such as buildings,
bridges, coastlines, rivers, forests and
other landscape characteristics. These
data provide an unprecedented tool for
scientific understanding and inform
National decisions related to ecosystem
management, energy development,
natural resource conservation and
mitigating geologic and flood-related
hazards. The USGS now collects LiDAR
data to a limited extent and primarily
for upgrading bare-earth elevation data
for The National Map. This study seeks
to establish a baseline of national
business needs and associated benefits
for LiDAR to enhance the
responsiveness of USGS programs, and
to design an efficient future program
that balances requirements, benefits and
costs. The study advances coordinated
program development among the
numerous Federal and State agencies
that increasingly rely on LiDAR to
enable the fulfillment of their missions.
The study is sponsored by the National
Digital Elevation Program steering
committee and supported by several
member agencies.
The information collection process
will be guided by an interagency
management team led by USGS with
support from a professional services
contractor. The information collection
will be conducted using a standardized
template. Responses are one-time and
voluntary.
