Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to renew an information collection related to the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM), which integrates elevation and hydrography data through the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP). This effort supports scientific and operational needs by delivering high-quality, accessible topographic data. The annual 3DNTM Data Collaboration Announcement provides an opportunity for partners such as federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal nations, academic institutions, and private sector organizations to collaborate with USGS to acquire 3DEP lidar or 3DHP hydrography data. USGS collects information from applicants about their proposed topographic data collection and cost sharing to determine project acceptance.
