Subject:  Fire History Spatial Data Standard Revision Version 1.1

This information bulletin (IB) describes recent updates which have been applied to the Fire History Spatial Data Standard. The updates were performed by OR930 Resource Science Data Team staff and are intended to bring the data standard up-to-date to reflect recent changes in staffing, BLM organization, and document formatting. These revisions improve the overall consistency and accuracy of our data standards. The revisions were made under the supervision and direction of the State Data Administrator, Eric Hiebenthal, and were checked for accuracy by Resource Science Data Team staff.

The following changes were applied:

  • Added document revision table, if needed;
  • Added a hyperlinked table of contents;
  • Updated the State Data Steward listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the GIS Technical Lead listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the State Data Administrator listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the State Records Administrator listing to reflect current roles;
  • Updated the Records Retention Schedule sections to reflect that they are system-centric themes which must be permanently retained;
  • Updated the BLM_ORG_CD domain (where present) to reflect the merger of Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new Northwest Oregon District;
  • Updated the DIST_NAME domain (where present) to reflect the merger of Salem and Eugene Districts to form the new Northwest Oregon District;
  • Incremented the version number and modified the file name for consistency.

Additional minor edits were made, as needed, to enhance the overall clarity and consistency with Oregon Data Framework data management practices.
