42 U.S.C. § 7707 — Advanced National Seismic System
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Establishment** The Director of the United States Geological Survey shall establish and operate an Advanced National Seismic System. The purpose of such system shall be to organize, modernize, standardize, and stabilize the national, regional, and urban seismic monitoring systems in the United States, including sensors, recorders, and data analysis centers, into a coordinated system that will measure and record the full range of frequencies and amplitudes exhibited by seismic waves, in order to enhance earthquake research and warning capabilities.
**(b) Management plan** Not later than 90 days after November 13, 2000, the Director of the United States Geological Survey shall transmit to the Congress a 5-year management plan for establishing and operating the Advanced National Seismic System. The plan shall include annual cost estimates for both modernization and operation, milestones, standards, and performance goals, as well as plans for securing the participation of all existing networks in the Advanced National Seismic System and for establishing new, or enhancing existing, partnerships to leverage resources.

**(a) Establishment**
(1) **In general** — There is established the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program.
(2) **Program activities** — The activities of the Program shall be designed to—
(A) develop effective measures for earthquake hazards reduction;
(B) promote the adoption of earthquake hazards reduction measures by Federal, State, and local governments, national standards and model code organizations, architects and engineers, building owners, and others with a role in planning and constructing buildings, structures, and lifeline infrastructure through—
(i) grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, and technical assistance;
(ii) development of standards, guidelines, and voluntary consensus codes for earthquake hazards reduction for buildings, structures, and lifeline infrastructure;
(iii) development and maintenance of a repository of information, including technical data, on seismic risk, community resilience, and hazards reduction; and
(iv) publishing a systematic set of maps of active faults and folds, liquefaction susceptibility, susceptibility for earthquake induced landslides, and other seismically induced hazards; and 11 So in original. The word “and” probably should not appear.
(C) improve the understanding of earthquakes and their effects on communities, buildings, structures, and lifeline infrastructure, through interdisciplinary research that involves engineering, natural sciences, and social, economic, and decisions sciences; and
(D) continue the development of the Advanced National Seismic System, including earthquake early warning capabilities and the Global Seismographic Network.
(3) **Interagency Coordinating Committee on Earthquake Hazards Reduction**
