The Federal Geographic Data Committee is soliciting public comments on
two standards proposals, one to develop an Environmental Hazards
Geospatial Data Content Standard and the other to develop a National
Shoreline Data Standard. If the proposals are approved, the standards
will be developed following the FGDC standards development and approval
process and will be considered for adoption by the FGDC.  The FGDC
invites the community to review the proposals and comment on the
objectives, scope, approach, and usability of the proposed standard;
identify existing related standards; and indicate their interest in
participating in the development of the standard.
 
DATES:  Comments must be received on or before October 3, 1997
 
A Shoreline Data Content Standard Workshop will be held November 3-5,
1997 at the NOAA Coastal Services Center, Charleston, SC
