• NGS will review and compile all NGS and stakeholder designs.
• All zone designs will be provided for review and comment before the end of 2021
• Final zone definitions will be distributed to the public in early 2022.

NGS will establish the State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 (SPCS2022) as part of the transition to the 2022 Terrestrial Reference Frames (TRFs).

The recorded NGS webinar State Plane 2022: The Shape of Things to Come describes the stakeholder design submittal process and gives an update on what State Plane will be like in the future.

NGS has established policy and procedures to govern developing the State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 (SPCS2022). These documents include essential guidance for stakeholders providing design input on SPCS2022 zones in their state, and delineated the deadlines listed above.:

• SPCS2022 Policy (350 KB)
• SPCS2022 Procedures (526 KB)

The policy specifies overall SPCS2022 characteristics. The procedures give technical details, along with the requirements and process for state stakeholders to provide input to NGS on their preferences for SPCS2022. Stakeholders and their roles are fully defined in the procedures.
