Relative to the Integration of the Mapping Functions of the Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey into the National Cartography Authority
Letter of Implementation No. 147, issued on March 1, 1984, mandates the integration of the mapping functions of the Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey (BCGS) into the National Cartography Authority (NCA). This transfer aims to allow BCGS to focus on its core functions related to oceanography and geodesy while enabling the NCA to become fully operational. The functions being transferred include topographic mapping and national mapping management, along with necessary appropriations, records, and personnel. Despite this transfer, BCGS will continue to collaborate with the NCA on establishing control stations for navigational aids. The Prime Minister is tasked with overseeing this transition to ensure its smooth implementation.
