21.1 - Approval
The following are the minimum requirements for approval of aerial photography applications:
1. The requesting unit must fill out and submit the following to the Regional Staff
Director for engineering activities or Station, Area, or Institute Director:
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

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

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.

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:
National Archives and Records Administration
Records Deposition Division
8th and Pennsylvania, NW (NNSC)
Washington, DC 20408
