Q.	When do you need the data?

We will accept your data as soon as you can get it to us, however, the Refresh project will incorporate data by geographic regions, as delineated here:

Your data need to be submitted within the target periods listed below to be incorporated into this Refresh update. Those data that are submitted after these data submission dates will be used in future program updates.

We understand that we are asking for information that may require a substantial amount of time and effort to gather, prepare, and submit for use in LANDFIRE Refresh. We have timed the initial call for data with the hope that the stewards of relevant data will be able to budget in the additional work before the occurrence of a hard deadline. If, however, you have data that could meet LANDFIRE needs, but you simply cannot provide the data within LANDFIRE's timeframe, please contact Brenda Lundberg, the LANDFIRE National Data Administrator, at (406) 329-3405 or blundberg@usgs.gov to advise her of the situation. We will gladly accept data contributed earlier or later than the target periods indicated in the table above, and we will work them into the Refresh or future program updates as best we can.
