**(a) Short title** This section may be cited as the “National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program Act of 2005”.
**(b) Program** The Secretary shall carry out a National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program in accordance with this section—
(1) to archive geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, maps, well logs, and samples;
(2) to provide a national catalog of such archival material;
(3) to provide technical and financial assistance related to the archival material; and
(4) to provide for preservation of samples to track geochemical signatures from critical mineral (as defined in [section 1606(a) of title 30](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title30-section1606/a&num=0&edition=prelim)) ore bodies for use in provenance tracking frameworks.
**(c) Plan** Not later than 1 year after August 8, 2005, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a plan for the implementation of the Program.
**(d) Data archive system**
(1) **Establishment** — The Secretary shall establish, as a component of the Program, a data archive system to provide for the storage, preservation, and archiving of subsurface, surface, geological, geophysical, and engineering data and samples. The Secretary, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, shall develop guidelines relating to the data archive system, including the types of data and samples to be preserved.
(2) **System components** — The system shall be comprised of State agencies that elect to be part of the system and agencies within the Department of the Interior that maintain geological and geophysical data and samples that are designated by the Secretary in accordance with this subsection. The Program shall provide for the storage of data and samples through data repositories

TITLE 43—PUBLIC LANDS
§ 31f
geological surveys, into the nationwide geo-
logic 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 re-
quire 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 geo-
logic map information; and
(II) interstate needs shared by adjacent
States that have common requirements;
and
(iii) for the education component, a pri-
ority-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 pre-
paring 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 com-
parability and quality of map products;
and
(E) a mechanism for monitoring the inven-
tory of published and current mapping inves-
tigations nationwide to facilitate planning
and information exchange and to avoid re-
dundancy.
