  for NILS PM_LD, internal GeoCommunicator, and the
  external GeoCommunicator?
• Quick review of what is in NILS PM
• What is coming in NILS PM_LD Version 4.0?
• USFS Data Integration (R4 Pilot)
• What parcel management -land description (PM_LD)
  data are in NILS and who is using it?
• How does the National Lease Sale System use NILS

• (5) establish a joint geographic information
  system mapping system for use in-
• (A) tracking surface resources values to aid

NILS/LR2000 Web Services

• Developing web services interfaces between NILS
  and LR2000 to streamline updates and facilitate
  data synchronization

8
How is LR 2000 information extracted and
processed by the NILS PM_LD application, and
published to both internal GeoCommunicator, and
the external GeoCommunicator?

PM Data

• Cases That Affect Land Status
• Mining Claim
• Oil Gas Agreements
• Oil Gas Leases
• Coal Leases
• Solid Mineral Leases
• Right of Ways
• Geothermal Leases
• Geothermal Agreements
• Use Leases and Permits
• Mineral Materials Disposal
• Surface Management Agency
• Parcel Fabric Alternate Source

LR2000/NILS/Geocomm Data Update Process
12
Import Status

• Parcel Fabric 4 million cases (72)
• Missing Parcel Fabric may be due to
• Unsupported Survey Types Will
  provide support for remainder in FY07
• Missing LD Fabric
  Will add alternate source data to LD fabric
• Poorly formed legal descriptions
• 
  
• Will provide tools for manual
  reconciliation
• Complex legal descriptions

13
Next Steps for completing electronic parcel
creation

• Obtain additional alternate source data
• Provide data creation tools for metes and bounds
• Pilot in Idaho using COTS

14
Parcel Fabric Alternate Source (PFAS) Overview

• LD Fabric is from GCDB or NILS SMMM module
• Holes in the LD Fabric are being filled in by
  Parcel Fabric Alternate Source
• To be used by Create process as alternate
  building blocks
• Case data will store if created from LD Fabric,
  PFAS, or combination

15
PFAS Replacement by SM/MM

• SM/MM uses PFAS data as a reference in the
  creation of Legal Description Fabric when not all
  information is available in the Survey Fabric
• The SM/MM recreates the PFAS data from survey
  grade data
• Once the Survey Fabric has been reproduced, the
  PFAS data is flagged as duplicated by the SM/MM
  Process
