Since then, the data became available for download from the NWS site as two separate datasets, The first is called FWSApproved and is available at https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/69866. This contains the outline of all properties both owned currently by the federal government, plus those approved for future potential aquisition. The second dataset is the NWS Cadastral data available here: at https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/SavedSearch/Profile/1057, which contains only those properties currently owned by the federal governement. The field INTTYPE1 contains the type value of Fee or Easement. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>In order to maintain the existing file format as much as possible, features from the new dataset format were copied into the existing feature class, then the INTTYPE1 (Pimary Interest Type) field was used to determine the status using the old ownership codes. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Data was last updated 2/21/2017 from FWS Approved Aquisition download and FWS Cadastral download.
