Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted data set from National Transportation Atlas Databases (NTAD) 2002. Removed "Abandoned" features. Removed unneeded attributes. Coded four features, missing FRA_REG attribute values, based on surrounding features. Clarified values for the MILITARY attribute. Renamed and rearranged attributes. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices. Converted the data set to SDC.
