Schools from the National Center for Education Statistics extracted from FRS EPA Region 2 [EPA.NCES_P} - Unprojected OS Format

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The Region 2 schools GIS layer contains unique records with basic identification information and best available locational information, for Region 2 schools found in the EPA Facility Registry System, which has imported records for schools in the National Center for Education Statistics database. Fields included in the layer include FRS_Name, FRS_Address, Facility Registry System ID), and locational information (latitude, longitude, and locational metadata). The locational data source for this and all R2 Regulated FACILITY and R2 Regulated PERMIT GIS Layers is the Locational Reference Tables (LRT) database, of Envirofacts augmented by R2 Locational Data Improvement records that may not yet have been cycled into the LRT. The Facility Registry System (FRS) is a centrally managed database developed by EPA's Office of Environmental Information (OEI). It provides Internet access to a single source of comprehensive information about facilities subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. The FRS contains accurate and authoritative facility identification records which are subjected to rigorous verification and data management quality assurance procedures. FRS records are continuously reviewed and enhanced by a Regional Data Steward network and active State partners. The facility records are based on information from EPA's national program systems and State master facility records and enhanced by other Web information sources.

purpose:
The EPA requires a wide variety of data to support environmental analysis and decision making. Envirofacts is a publicly accessible single point of access to select U.S. EPA environmental data. In Region 2 (New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands), GIS staff worked closely with EPA entities and other organizations at the local, state and federal levels to share or jointly develop critical data sets for environmental analysis. This Region 2 Regulated Facility layer is a critical data set and the generation and maintenance of this dataset is largely dependent upon Envirofacts.
