<abstract>This dataset is intended for read-only use. The purpose of these data is to provide display, identification, and analysis tools for determining current boundary information for Forest Service managers, GIS specialists, and others.</abstract>
<purpose>This dataset represents ownership parcels of the subsurface estate, representing mineral rights; it is collected only if the subsurface estate ownership is different than the overlying surface estate ownership (i.e. where a split estate exists).</purpose>

<attraccr>The Regional Land Status personnel are responsible for their local data stewardship and maintenance. The overall collection nationwide consists of 100% attribute accuracy based on currentness and completeness.</attraccr>
</attracc>
<logic>Topology was created using ESRI Arc/Info software and checked for gaps, slivers, intersect errors and invalid dangling nodes. Data was confirmed complete. Standard collection procedures included edgematching between township coverage tiles. Any errors were corrected using USDA Forest Service standards and guidelines for Quality Control (QC). Region datasets followed the Washington Office standards and processes. The data was collected following FGDC standards. Quality control measures taken: this feature class is populated by an automated translation process from the source feature class that is edited and maintained by the data stewards. Only stewards with the proper role grants can edit the data. The application used for editing has built in controls to only allow valid geometry and domains to control attribute integrity.</logic>
