Be a Part of the Change: A Guide to Customizing State Plane for 2022

October 10, 2019 | 2-3 pm, Eastern Time

Dr. Michael Dennis, National Geodetic Survey

We hope you already know that the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) will change in 2022, including the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). What you may not know is that you can be a part of that change.

This presentation provides guidance on making requests to NGS for design of SPCS2022 zones in a state, how a state can propose and submit its own designs, and the special case of zones in more than one state. Topics include:

Who can submit requests and proposals
How to complete the forms
When it all must be done
Requirements for zone designs (the “rules”)

The reasons for the rules will also be discussed, to show how they promote good design practice and provide consistency for a nationwide system intended for the future—but one that is also more complex than its predecessors.
