National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)
  • In keeping with National Spatial Data
    Infrastructure principals, and Executive Order
    12906, establishing the NSDI
  • Enhance Data Sharing
  • Minimize redundant data production
  • Leverage resources to satisfy multiple
    requirements
  • Apply flexible and common standards
  • Ensure availability of best available base
    cartographic data

5
NDEP Partnership Mechanisms
  • Joint Production Plans, developed by the NDEP
    Project Coordination Subcommittee
  • Member Agency requirements
  • Joint funding agreements with other Federal and
    State agencies
  • Data Exchange, Data Share, and Work Share
    agreements with other Federal, State, and local
    agencies
  • Innovative Partnerships with State agencies and
    private firms
  • Existing partnerships, such as DOI High Priority,
    and the USGS-USFS-BLM Management Oversight
    Committee, among others.

NDEP Steering Committee
  • Oversee the NDEP, including identifying the
    vision, direction, and goals of the program,
    planning and finalizing program requirements,
    determining general digital elevation production
    strategies, and reviewing product costs,
    contracts, funding, contracting mechanisms and
    resource allocations.
  • Promote joint funding, cost-share and work-share
    agreements, and innovative partnerships with
    Federal and State agencies and other entities.
  • Review and coordinate technical criteria for the
    program, including the technical standards and
    guidelines for the development, quality assurance
    and distribution of digital elevation data, and
    the assessment of emerging alternative
    technologies.

10
NDEP Steering CommitteeContinued
  • Meet semi-annually, or when called by the
    chairperson. Review the MOU and Charter annually
    to keep current. Update the MOU appendices by
    reviewing and approving the proposed Interagency
    Agreements and NDEP production plans.
  • Participate in annual professional society
    meetings to provide general information, program
    status, and other activities of NDEP to agency
    participants and to potential new Federal and
    State members and contributors.
  • Each agency has one voting member. Voting
    processes and procedures established by the
    Steering Committee.
  • The NDEP Steering Committee membership will be
    comprised of agencies and organizations signed to
    the Charter and MOU/IA.

11
NDEP Steering CommitteeContinued
  • Annual consideration will be given to new
    leadership of the NDEP Steering Committee and its
    subcommittees, facilitating alternation among the
    member agencies. A chairperson will be nominated
    by the chairing agency and approved by the NDEP
    Steering Committee
  • The NDEP Steering Committee will form a Technical
    Subcommittee and a Project Coordination
    Subcommittee to provide advice and support.
    Participating agencies will submit nominations of
    representatives to the subcommittees to the NDEP
    Steering Committee. The NDEP Steering Committee
    will select a Chairperson for each subcommittee.

Benefits
  • Provides the mechanism for the NDEP membership to
    satisfy requirements for elevation data in
    support of Member Agency Missions, utilizing a
    leveraged approach to minimize redundancy,
    enhance data sharing, and pool resources to
    achieve common goals.
  • Enhances the ability to satisfy a broader suite
    of requirements, from multiple perspectives, by
    contributing to a National Program which provides
    broader access to data, constituting a key
    contribution to the development of a National
    Elevation Framework.
  • Provides the potential for a strong, sustainable
    National Elevation Program in support of National
    as well as place based requirements.
  • Shows commitment to NSDI principals and executes
    the vision of executive order 12906.
