<idAbs>&amp;lt;DIV&amp;gt;FEMA Framework Basemap datasets comprise six of the seven FGDC themes of geospatial data that are used by most GIS applications (Note: the seventh framework theme, orthographic imagery, is packaged in a separate NFIP Metadata Profile): cadastral, geodetic control, governmental unit, transportation, general structures, hydrography (water areas &amp;amp; lines.

<measDesc>The NSSDA is used to report the horizontal accuracy of the base map data used by FEMA to produce a FIRM. The NSSDA uses radial accuracy (Accuracy) to report the radius of a circle of uncertainty, such that the true or theoretical location of a point falls within that circle 95 percent of the time.

<evalMethDesc>The minimum horizontal positional accuracy for new FIRM base map data is that of the default base map, the USGS DOQs, which have an NSSDA radial accuracy of 38 feet. Data that meet higher accuracy standards are also acceptable. Accuracy of 38 feet is the same as radial root mean square error (RMSEr) of 22 feet.

<stepDesc>All Flood Map Projects that will result in a digital FIRM require a digital base map that reflects reference features (i.e., roads, streets, hydrographic features, political jurisdiction boundaries) needed by users to locate properties on FIRMs. During the Project Scoping phase, the Project Team identified the base map to be used and assign the Mapping Partner responsible for obtaining the base map for use by FEMA for FIRM production. Early coordination with all communities affected by a Flood Map Project is an important part of the Project Scoping Process described in Section 1.3 of these Guidelines. Therefore, the Section 1.4 1-68 Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners [April 2003] Mapping Partner responsible for preparing the Preliminary version of the FIRM or another assigned Mapping Partner shall send a letter to each affected community that: Describes the FIRM product; Requests pertinent information (pertinent information that is requested includes base map data; a current corporate limits map; elevation data [either electronic or hardcopy] and any engineering information that needs to be updated or added to the FIRM); Describes the minimum requirements for the submittal of data to be included in the new FIRM product, and Identifies the base map source that will be used if community data are not available or suitable. A sample version of this letter and other correspondence that may be generated during the Map Production phase of the project are presented in the FEMA Document Control Procedures Manual (FEMA, 2000).</stepDesc>
