Governance
The 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) is an initiative that improves and integrates elevation and hydrography data to support the most demanding scientific requirements and enable data-driven decisions across user communities. The 3D Elevation Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee (3DE-FICC) provides executive governance to coordinate the acquisition, dissemination, and use of 3DNTM data.
3D Elevation Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee
The goal of the 3D Elevation Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee (3DE-FICC) is to coordinate 3D elevation data management across the Federal Government. The 3DE-FICC covers the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM), including the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP).
3DEP Working Group
The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Working Group is a forum that is responsible for developing, executing and promoting a national strategy for acquisition, management, and distribution of elevation data consistent with the goals of the 3DEP.
3DHP Working Group
The 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) Working Group is a forum for Federal agencies with direct involvement in 3DHP to provide input and collaborate on the direction, development, priorities, management, technologies, use, and resources of the program.
