Just a reminder that the period for public review of the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) draft Vegetation Classification and Information Standards closes 1 October 1996. When finalized, these standards will apply to ALL US federal agencies for vegetation data collecetd directly or indirectly (through grants, partnerships, or contracts). Copies of the standards are available from the FGDC Secretariat (Attn. Jennifer Fox) at tel: 703-648-5514; Fax: 703-648-5755. Email: gdc@usgs.gov. They may be viewed at http://www.nbs.gov/~mikez/fgdc-sub.htm or may be downloaded from the FGDC Home page at URL: www.fgdc.gov (select Public Documents) or directly from www.fgdc.gov/pub/standards/veg. If you do review, tell us what you don't like, why the standards should be changed, AND provide us with the wording to make the standard acceptable to you. SEND YOUR COMMENTS TO JENNIFER FOX at the email address given above. All comments must reach Jennifer by 1 October 1996. PLEASE DO NOT SEND you comments to the List or to me. Thanks, Gyde
