## SEC. 6 GEOLOGIC MAPPING PROGRAM 5-YEAR PLAN, **[**[43 U.S.C. 31e](/us/usc/t43/s31e)**]** ###
(a)In General The Secretary, acting through the Director, shall, with the advice and review of the advisory committee, prepare a 5-year plan for the geologic mapping program. ###
(b)Requirements The 5-year plan shall identify— ####
(1)overall priorities for the geologic mapping program; and ####
(2)implementation of the overall management structure and operation of the geologic mapping program, including— #####
(A)the role of the Survey in the capacity of overall management lead, including the responsibility for developing the national geologic mapping program that meets Federal needs while fostering State needs; #####
(B)the responsibilities of the State geological surveys, with emphasis on mechanisms that incorporate the needs, missions, capabilities, and requirements of the State geological surveys, into the nationwide geologic mapping program; #####
(C)mechanisms for identifying short- and long-term priorities for each component of the geologic mapping program, including— ######
(i)for the Federal component, a priority-setting mechanism that responds to— ######
(I)Federal mission requirements for geologic map information; ######
(II)critical scientific problems that require geologic maps for their resolution; and ######
(III)shared Federal and State needs for geologic maps, in which joint Federal-State geologic mapping projects are in the national interest; ######
(ii)for the State component, a priority-setting mechanism that responds to— ######
(I)specific intrastate needs for geologic map information; and ######
(II)interstate needs shared by adjacent States that have common requirements; and ######
(iii)for the education component, a priority-setting mechanism that responds to requirements for geologic map information that are dictated by Federal and State mission requirements; #####
(D)a mechanism for adopting scientific and technical mapping standards for preparing and publishing general- and special-purpose geologic maps to— ######
(i)ensure uniformity of cartographic and scientific conventions; and ######
(ii)provide a basis for assessing the comparability and quality of map products; and #####
(E)a mechanism for monitoring the inventory of published and current mapping investigations nationwide to facilitate planning and information exchange and to avoid redundancy.
