a. Form AD-341, Application To Secure Aerial Photography (ex. 01).
b. Form FS-6300-4, Request for Contract Action.
c. Aerial photography project description worksheet ex. 02 and table 1 from the Forest Service Utility Guide for Aerial Photography, section 2 (sec. 06.2). Include adequate documentation of the decision process by which scale and emulsion were determined.
d. Form AD-700, Procurement Request.
e. Form AD-838, Purchase Order.
2. For all block area projects of 100 square miles or more, fill out and submit the following to the Consolidated Farm Service Agency/Aerial Photography Field Office (CFSA/APFO). If the block area is less than 100 square miles, the following documents should be completed, but notification to the CFSA/APFO is not required.
a. Form AD-341, Application To Secure Aerial Photography (ex. 01), with signature of Regional Staff Director for engineering activities or Station, Area, or Institute Director.
b. Three copies of 1:5,000,000-scale map of the Region showing the project area for each scale and type of photography. Use separate maps as needed to avoid overlaps or to ensure clarity. Clearly and legibly identify county names and boundaries affected by the project.

21.2 - Specifications
Copies of Department of Agriculture Specifications for Aerial Photography, Section C, are available from the Consolidated Farm Service Agency/Aerial Photography Field Office. See section 22.1 for address.
21.3 - Coding
The codes used for Forest Service aerial photography projects are 6-character, alphanumeric (for example, 62809L). Assign codes to each project and enter the codes on Form AD-341, Application To Secure Aerial Photography, under item 11. The coding for Forest Service aerial photography projects must conform to the following instructions.
1. Project Identification. Projects are identified by the first and second digit positions.
a. Forest Service projects administered by the Consolidated Farm Service Agency/Aerial Photography Field Office begin with two digits ranging from 61 through 70. The second of the two digits identifies consecutive projects on the same Forest in the same fiscal year.
b. Forest Service projects administered by the Forest Service (strip or spot projects or block projects of less than 100 square miles) begin with two digits ranging from 71 through 90. The second digit also identifies consecutive projects on the same Forest and in the same fiscal year.
2. Region Identification. Regions are identified by the third digit position. Regions 1 through 9 respectively must use the corresponding digit for identification; Region 10 uses 0 (zero).
3. Forest Identification. Forests are identified by the fourth and fifth digit positions, using 2-digit organizational structure codes listed as third level symbols from Regional Supplements.
4. Ranger District Identification. The final digit is normally 0 (zero), indicating an entire National Forest. However, a Region wishing to specifically identify a subunit should use the level four organizational structure code but limit it to a single digit. Whenever the Ranger District code exceeds 9, symbolization switches to alpha notation in capitals, using the letters J for 10, K for 11 (omitting the letters O and Q) through S for 17.
Units consisting of several Districts, but are less than an entire Forest, may be given a new code (18 through 24 -- symbols T through Z) if flown as one block.

7109.13a_20Page 9 of 39
FSH 7109.13a - GEOMETRONICS HANDBOOKCHAPTER 20 - REMOTE SENSING
Regions planning to use new multi-District codes must provide to the Washington Office Engineering Director a complete listing of divisions showing included Districts in order to assign codes.
5. Sample Explanation. The example, 62809L, previously given in this section, is interpreted as follows:
This code, 62809L, is a Forest Service contract (6) issued and administered by CFSA/APFO. This is the second such project this fiscal year (2) to be on the Southern Region's (8) Ouachita National Forest (09), Tiak Ranger District (L).

23 - STORAGE AND ARCHIVING
Aerial photography provides a permanent record of an area. Improper handling of materials can lead to the destruction or loss of valuable information.
23.1 - Storage
1. Film base materials. Film for block aerial photography of over 100 square miles is stored at the Consolidated Farm Service Agency/Aerial Photography Field Office. Store project film retained by Forest Service units in the most environmentally consistent area available.
2. Paper prints. These are the working copies for many operations. Store the paper prints in such a manner that will protect the copies and help to extend their useful life.
23.2 - Archiving
1. Stable base materials. The Consolidated Farm Service Agency/Aerial Photography Field Office (CFSA/APFO) retains in archives aerial film products used by the Forest Service. Provide original films and photo indexes to CFSA/APFO for permanent retention.
2. Nitro cellulose film products. Instructions for the transport of nitrate film products are contained in General Services Administration (GSA) Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 100-199 (49 CFR Parts 100-199). Nitrate film carries a hazardous materials classification and appropriate handling and labels are essential. Forward all nitrate-based film materials not in use to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for retention; NARA can provide copies of the film at established prices. Itemize all nitrate film on Form GSA SF-115, Request for Records Disposition Authority, and ship to:
