the
Research
and
Innovative
Technology
Administration
(RITA)
published
a
Federal
Register
Notice.
The
Federal
Register
Notice
requests
public
comment
regarding
the need
to
continue
to
operate
the
inland
component
of the
Nationwide
Differential
Global
Positioning
System (NDGPS)
Program.
RITA, on
behalf
of the
U.S.
Department
of
Transportation
(DOT),
is
assessing
the
current
user
needs
and
systems
requirements
of the
inland
(terrestrial)
component
of NDGPS.
This
assessment
is in
preparation
for
making a
recommendation
to the
National
Space-Based
Positioning,
Navigation
and
Timing (PNT)
Executive
Committee
(http:/www.pnt.gov)
on the
need to
continue
to
operate
the
inland
component
of the
NDGPS
system,
and to
make a
decision
on
funding
the
NDGPS.
RITA
recognizes,
and the
USCG
emphasizes,
that
irrespective
of the
result
of the
NDGPS
assessment
or the
PNT
Executive
Committee's
decision,
the U.S.
Coast
Guard
will
continue
to
operate,
maintain
and
manage
the
Maritime
DGPS to
meet
maritime
safety,
navigation,
and
security
mission
requirements.
The
Maritime
DGPS
will
maintain
existing
coverage
on
navigable
waters
of the
U.S.,
including
the
Inland
Rivers.
