Subject:  Resource Area Boundaries Spatial Data Standard Version 2.0

This information bulletin (IB) describes recent updates which were applied to the Resource Area Boundaries (RAB) Spatial Data Standard.  The updates were performed in order to bring the document up-to-date regarding recent changes in staffing, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) organization, and document formatting. The revisions were made under the supervision and direction of the State Data Administrator, Eric Hiebenthal.

The following changes were applied:

  • Added document revision tables to the header of each standard where they were missing;
  • Added a hyperlinked table of contents;
  • Updated each State Data Steward listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the GIS Technical Lead listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the State Data Administrator listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the State Records Administrator listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the Records Retention Schedule sections to reflect that they are system-centric themes which must be permanently retained;
  • Updated the BLM_ORG_CD domain (where present) to reflect the merger of the Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new Northwest Oregon District (NWOD);
  • Updated the DIST_NAME domain (where present) to reflect the merger of Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new NWOD;
  • Incremented the version number on each file name and modified the file names for consistency.

Additional minor edits were made to select data standards to enhance the overall clarity and improve consistency with Oregon Data Framework (ODF) data management practices.

Questions about this data standard revision may be directed to Corey Plank, State Data Steward and GIS Technical lead for RAB, at 503-808-6145; or Eric Hiebenthal, OR/WA State Data Administrator, at 503-808-6565.

Districts with unions are reminded to notify their unions of this IB and satisfy any bargaining obligations before implementation. Your servicing Human Resources Office or Labor Relations Specialist can provide you with assistance in this matter.
