However, despite major progress in the development of digital land parcel databases in many local jurisdictions, some directed and coordinated by state programs, little progress has been made toward the development of nationally integrated land parcel data since that time. Therefore, the current study, which was sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

Stakeholder feedback to the committee highlighted that federal- and state-level employees who produce parcel data believe that nationally integrated parcel data are necessary, but many local governments create data for their own applications and do not see how a national effort would benefit their own local use. This becomes a challenge now that the need for complete national land parcel data has become even more urgent for one application in particular -- emergency response.

As mentioned earlier, there has been a fair amount of federal policy supporting a comprehensive approach to parcel data. However, while the FGDC has designated BLM as the steward for federal land parcel data and the coordinator of cadastral data, a coordinated approach to parcel data, even for federally managed property, does not exist.

There would also be a national land parcel coordinator who would be responsible for coordinating the development of complete and integrated nationwide coverage of parcel data from all levels of government. This national coordinator would build relationships with state and local governments to establish unfettered access to a comprehensive set of parcel data linked to a unique identification system.

In order to accomplish this, the committee recommends the following: RECOMMENDATION 1. In order to achieve nationally integrated land parcel data, there should be both a federal land parcel coordinator and a national land parcel coordinator.

If publicly available, these street addresses and coordinates could be used to assist in the development of parcel data in areas where parcel data sets do not exist. Coordination at the state level is a necessary element of nationally integrated land parcel data and could logically be a part of the NSGIC/FGDC Fifty States Initiative.

Further, in order to be eligible to receive federal funds that are directly associated with property, such as disaster relief or community development assistance, digital land parcel data necessary to effectively administer the program should be made available by local and state governments. This study argues that nationally integrated land parcel data are necessary, timely, technically feasible, and affordable.

The committee hopes that establishing this framework will be the first step in moving forward with a national land parcel data program.
