Information Bulletin:

This information bulletin announces the availability of and describes the recent updates to the Land Tenure Zones Data Standard Version 3.

The Land Tenure Zones (LTZ) data set represents areas (zones) on all lands under Bureau of Land Management jurisdiction. The zones are determined through the land use planning process. Proposed Land Tenure Zones (LTZ_P) contain alternatives used in the Resource Management Planning (RMP) process. This dataset is used for depicting the different LTZs on maps and for overlaying in GIS with other data themes to determine feasibility and impact of project proposals.

The following changes were applied:

  • Reformatted document to meet Section 508 standards and match the latest data standard template.
  • Updated title page graphic.
  • Updated FOIA category, records retention schedule text, security/access/sensitivity, and keywords.
  • Updated architecture diagrams.
  • Updated section 4 to show the correct field order.
  • Added edit tracking fields to all feature classes.
  • Defined default values for required fields with coded value domains.
  • Updated domains to ensure they have the correct codes as of the time of the publication of this version of the data standard.
  • Updated publication views and editing procedures.

Any questions about this data standard can be directed to Tara McLain, State Data Steward for LTZ, at 541-573-4462; Eric Hiebenthal, State Data Administrator, at 503-808-6565; or Dana Baker-Allum, Geospatial Data Designer, at 503-808-6320.
