Final Day to Submit comments to FGDC

 Public Review of "Guidelines for Providing Appropriate Access to Geospatial Data in Response to Security Concerns" Comments must be received on or before June 2, 2004.

The Federal Geographic Data Committee invites comments on "Guidelines for Providing Appropriate Access to Geospatial Data in Response to Security Concerns." The guidelines provide procedures to identify sensitive information content of geospatial data sets. Should such content be identified, the guidelines help organizations decide what access to provide to such data sets and still protect sensitive information content. The geospatial data community’s use of a common approach to identify data sets that have sensitive content and to provide appropriate access to such data will increase the effectiveness of individual organization’s actions.

The guidelines and instructions for comment are available for downloading through http://www.fgdc.gov/fgdc/homeland/.

Comments must be received on or before June 2, 2004.

Submit comments by electronic mail to guidelines@fgdc.gov or by postal mail to FGDC HSWG Guidelines Review, 511 National Center, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia 20192.
