The National Geodetic Survey (NGS), a U.S. federal agency under NOAA, defines and manages the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), a consistent coordinate system for latitude, longitude, height, gravity, and orientation throughout the United States and its territories. NGS provides high-accuracy GPS data, models, and tools to support various applications, including surveying, transportation, and communication. They work with partners like FEMA and other federal, state, and local agencies to improve the accuracy of geospatial data and maintain the NSRS.
