Subject:  Grazing Allotments and Pastures Spatial Data Standard Version 3.0

This information bulletin describes recent updates to the Grazing Allotments and Pastures (GRA) Spatial Data Standard. 

The updated data standard includes clarification for the use of grazing allotment identification numbers, with attributes for no allocation, outside of allocation, and unallocated areas to be used for data review.  

Additional updates reflect recent changes in staffing, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) organization, and document format requirements. The revisions were made under the supervision and direction of the state data administrator.  

The following changes were applied:  

  • Added document revision tables to the header, as needed;
  • Added an automatic linked table of contents;
  • Updated the state data steward listing;
  • Updated the GIS technical lead listing;
  • Updated the state data administrator listing;
  • Updated the state records administrator listing;
  • Updated the records retention schedule sections to reflect that they are system centric themes that must be permanently retained;
  • Updated the BLM_ORG_CD domain (where present) to reflect the merger of Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new Northwest Oregon District;
  • Updated the DIST_NAME domain (where present) to reflect the merger of Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new Northwest Oregon District; and
  • Incremented the version number and modified file name for consistency.

Additional minor edits were made to enhance the overall clarity and consistency with the Oregon data, framework data management practices.  

Questions about this data standard should be directed to Robert Hopper, State Data Steward for GRA data at, 503-808-6118; Paul Whitman, GIS technical lead for GRA, at 541-947-6110; or Eric Hiebenthal, State Data Administrator, at 503-808-6565.
