In Chapter 5 the committee has attempted to provide an honest assessment of the real challenges that will have to be addressed for a national land parcel data program to become a reality. On the other hand, there are numerous examples in which the private sector and several states have successfully overcome these issues.

The need to clarify and enforce federal agency responsibilities for land parcel-related geospatial data under OMB Circular A-16. OMB Circular A-16 requires the federal government to establish the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

From page 127... ...
The committee believes that stewardship of the cadastre framework data should be handled by a national land parcel coordinator. This function is distinct from that of the federal land parcel coordinator, in that it will address the development of nationally integrated land parcel data from all land managers, whether public or private.

From page 128... ...
A panel should be established to determine whether BLM has the necessary and sufficient authority and capacity to serve as the federal and/or national land parcel coordinator, and if not, either it should be given the authority and resources, or some other agency should be named. The panel should conduct a review of BLM's existing stewardship responsibilities for cadastral and federal land ownership status under OMB Circular A-16, as well as its current legislative authorities and budget priorities.

Conclusions. The committee believes that land parcels are closely linked to other FGDC data themes such as Buildings and Facilities, Cultural Resources, Governmental Units, and Housing.

From page 130... ...
The committee believes that the FGDC Subcommittee for Cadastral Data's Parcel Management Program Business Plan Template can serve as a roadmap for establishing and monitoring a national land parcel data program. It outlines the following stages that include milestones and outcomes (FGDC Subcommittee for Cadastral Data, 2006b, p.

RECOMMENDATION 4. The National Land Parcel Coordinator should develop and oversee a land parcel data business plan for the nation.

The data should then be made available to the National Land Parcel Coordinator to be integrated with national land parcel data. Issue 6.

From page 133... ...
The need for state-level coordination of parcel data. It is not feasible for the national land parcel coordinator to interact with the large number of counties, municipalities, regional bodies, school districts, and special districts in the United States that produce parcel data.

From page 134... ...
RECOMMENDATION 7. The National Land Parcel Coordinator should embrace the Fifty States Initiative and require that every state formally establish a state parcel coor dinator.
|
From page 135... ...
Therefore, a major responsibility of the national land parcel coordinator is to develop a top-down funding model to support a bottom-up production process. The coordinator must also obtain funding for integration of the data, development of a system for accessing the data from local sources and making them available in a web interface, and the federal and national coordination functions.

From page 136... ...
For example, one way to expedite development of land parcel data would be to require local and state governments to make digital land parcel information available as a prerequisite for participating in federal geospatial data programs -- for example, national programs to collect and disseminate orthoimagery. Similarly, as part of their requests for grants related to property, such as for disaster relief or community development assistance, communities should be required to make their parcel data available.
|
From page 137... ...
Therefore, the committee has laid out a set of recommendations to help clarify the mandate and establish a practical framework for sustained coordination and funding. The committee hopes that establishing this framework will be the first step in moving forward with a national land parcel data program that will provide a new level of responsiveness and accountability in the way federal agencies serve the public.
