About MAPPS +  MAPPS is the only national association of private

sector firms in the surveying, spatial data and geographic information systems field in the United States. -  Regular member firms are engaged in LIDAR,

surveying, photogrammetry, satellite and airborne remote sensing, aerial photography, hydrography, aerial and satellite image processing, GPS and GIS data collection and conversion services.

-  Our associate members include firms that provide products and services to our member firms, as well as other firms world-wide.


About MAPPS

+  Only national geospatial organization with a full-time presence in Washington, DC that works on policy issues


Benefits of MAPPS •  Conferences, forums, and venues to meet other leading

firm principals to develop strategic business and professional partnerships

•  Advocacy of the private geospatial community in our Nation’s Capitol, the States, and in the marketplace

•  Opportunities for networking and information sharing among professional peers

•  Information and news sources on the geospatial market and community

•  Education to provide firm principals courses, sessions and classes for continuing professional development


Threats

+  Privacy -  Unmanned Aerial Systems


“Privacy” Rules & Legislation


FTC Regulation


Recent UAV Legislation


Opportunities

+ MAP-21 Act + 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) + Digital Coast


MAP-21 Act +  Congress passed and the President signed (Friday, July 6, 2012)

legislation, including reauthorizing the Highway and FEMA Flood programs:

+  Hundreds of millions of dollars a year in geospatial business -  strengthens the law against state DoT competition with the private

sector, mandates that States use the private sector to maximum extent possible for surveying and mapping

-  strengthening QBS on FHwA-funded state DoT projects (NOT just construction-related)

-  new ITS program -  national bridge and tunnel inventory and inspection standards -  Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – highway basemap,

geolocate attribute data -  RESTORE Act, gulf coast restoration (TX, LA, MS, AL, FL) including

mapping -  extension of the Harbor Maintenance Fund that provides money for

hydrographic surveys by the Corps of Engineers and NOAA, could create demand for bathymetric LIDAR

-  Innovative Project Delivery Methods – including “digital 3-dimensional modeling technologies”


MAP-21 Act

+  Reauthorizes and reforms FEMA flood mapping program

+  Numerous MAPPS-initiated provisions, including those of our FEMA task force; -  Requires National Flood Insurance Program

rate maps to use “the most accurate topography and elevation data available”


MAP-21 Act

-  assess the accuracy of current ground elevation data used for hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of flooding

-  sources and mapping of the flood hazard and wherever necessary acquire new ground elevation data utilizing the most up-to-date geospatial technologies in accordance with FEMA guidelines and specifications


MAP-21 Importance

+  Section 100220:

•  Specifically men-ons OMB, FEMA, USGS, NOAA & USACE


3D Elevation Program (3DEP)


3D Elevation Program (3DEP) +  The National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA)

demonstrated the potential to generate $1.2 billion to $13 billion new benefits annually

+  Based on the NEEA findings, a cooperatively funded national 3-Dimensional Elevation Program (3DEP) executed by USGS

+  Plan to acquire high resolution LiDAR data for 49 states, IFSAR in Alaska

+  The goal is to achieve an 8-year acquisition cycle ($146 M per year), will satisfy 58% of NEEA-identified requirements

+  Provide bare earth elevation, point cloud and other data derivatives


3DEP Endorsements

+ NGAC

+ NDEP

+ NSGIC

+ MAPPS

-  “USGS should be applauded for its diligence developing the 3DEP program, identifying stakeholders in the public and private sector, and coordinating with Federal, state and local agency partners and the private sector in an effort to develop and fund the program”


MAPPS - Private Sector Capacity

+  In a response to USGS, MAPPS has confirmed that a capable, qualified private sector capacity exists to fulfill the LIDAR data acquisition requirements of 3DEP.

+  The manufacturing capacity of LIDAR sensor instruments is more than sufficient to meet any additional demand.

+  According to the biannual MAPPS Economic Survey, only 35 percent of MAPPS member firms are currently operating at full capacity.


Procurement Capacity

+ Utilizing the Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC), a suite of multiple-award USGS contracts with the private sector that has been competitively procured via the qualifications based selection process pursuant to 40 USC 1101 and FAR part 36.6, provides a public-private partnership between USGS and the private sector to accomplish 3DEP via task orders for LIDAR acquisition.

+ GPSC will soon be re-competed.

Proposed Funding Strategy +  Coalition of Federal agencies to commit funding

annually to a national program (in rank order of benefits): NRCS, USACE, DISDI, USGS, NOAA, FEMA, EPA, USFS, FAA, and NGA

+  USGS additionally contributing existing base program +  States and other partner agencies will be invited to

participate +  Acquisition cycle scales with funding +  President’s FY14 budget request for USGS includes

$11 million for 3DEP Program


What is the Digital Coast Act?


Digital Coast Act The "Digital Coast" is a geospatially enabled program in NOAA to improve coordination and support work with stakeholders to identify geospatial priorities: +  Improve coordination of coastal mapping and management

activities; +  Use standards and standardized methods for data acquisition,

processing, and distribution to ensure broadest utility of data; +  Promote best practices when applying geospatial data for

coastal decision making; +  Contract for the collection and creation of quality non-

navigation feature data sets to include: shoreline change, satellite and aerial imagery, land use and land cover maps, benthic habitat mapping, terrestrial topography, shallow water bathymetry, and submerged aquatic vegetation.


Digital Coast Act +  Reps. C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger (D-MD)

and Don Young (R-AK) introduced H.R. 1382, the “Digital Coast Act”

NOAA's Watershed-Based Coastal Counties

Alaska

Hawaii

NOAA's Watershed-Based Coastal Counties

States

0 260 520130 Miles ±

Estuarine and Coastal Drainage Areas


Digital Coast Act

+  H.R. 1382 authorizes $85,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2014 through 2019

+  Would create a major market for LIDAR!
