Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: USGS, Snake River Field Station Publication_Date: 20031106 Title: ASR_towers_sgca Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Other_Citation_Details: Hard copy of the distirbution of communication towers can be found in Figure 7.21, Chapter 7, p. 90, in Connelly, J. W., S. T. Knick, M. A. Schroeder, and S. J. Stiver. 2004. Conservation assessment of Greater Sage-grouse and sagebrush habitats. Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Unpublished Report. Cheyenne, Wyoming. Online_Linkage: http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov/ Description: Abstract: Communication antenna towers registered with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) program. The FCC requires that all towers >200 ft tall and towers <200 ft that are positioned in the glide path of an airport be registered with the FCC ASR program. Therefore, this data set does not necessarily depict ALL communication antennas actually present on the landscape. The source data are updated weekly by the FCC as new permits are issued. However, this data set is designed for a specific analysis, and is planned to remain static as of the publication date (11/06/2003). Purpose: This spatial data set was initially developed for use on the Rangewide Conservation Assessment for Sage Grouse, but the data set has general use applications. Supplemental_Information: There are known (and obvious) spatial errors. Some antennas are mislocated in the source data.

The true accuracy of the remaining features is unknown and untested. Logical_Consistency_Report: Dependent upon the source data. No additional test were conducted. Completeness_Report: Because not all communication antennas are required to be registered with the FCC, this data set does not necessarily depict ALL communication features on the landscape. Furthermore, the FCC updates this source database on a weekly basis but this shapefile was created for a one-time analysis and contains only data available on 11/6/2003.
