Data Preservation Program: Section 351 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the Secretary of the Interior, through the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), "to carry out a National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program" (NGGDPP). The objectives of the NGGDPP are: (1) to archive geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, maps, well logs, and samples; (2) to provide a national catalog of such archival material; and (3) to provide technical and financial assistance related to the archival material. The Program is comprised of "State agencies that elect to be part of the system and agencies within the Department of the Interior that maintain geological and geophysical data and samples." Section 351 also states that "the Secretary may not designate a State agency as a component of the data archive system unless that agency is the agency that acts as the geological survey in the State." The Implementation Plan for the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program submitted to Congress in October 2006 outlines the vision and purpose of the program and makes recommendations for implementation of the program: http://energy.usgs.gov/PDFs/2006DataPreservation.pdf. One of the action items in the FY2007 implementation plan is to "begin interactions with State geological surveys and other DOI agencies that maintain geological and geophysical data and samples to address their preservation and data rescue needs." As the first step in this process, the USGS is requesting that each state provide us with an assessment of your current collection resources and your data preservation needs. This information will provide a snapshot of the diversity of scientific collections held, supported, or used by state geological surveys. Each state geological survey can submit a proposal to the NGGDDP for funding to cover part of the anticipated costs of inventorying state held collections and completing the on-line survey.
