200 KAR 41:010.The Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System.
Section 1.
Definitions.(1)
"COT" means Commonwealth Office of Technology.(2)
"Customary foot" refers to the foot as a linear unit of measure in a generic sense outside the context of a specific conversion regimen.(3)
"Geodetic datum," as referenced herein, means a geometric model representing the earth's size and shape. The mathematical surface of a geodetic datum is an oblate spheroid, called a reference ellipsoid, generally designed to best fit mean sea level either globally or for a stated region. In the context of a geometric framework in which horizontal coordinates are expressed in angular units as latitude and longitude, a geodetic datum is also referred to as a terrestrial reference frame, or simply, reference frame.(4)
"Geodetically referenced mapping projection" means a planar surface mathematically associated with a geodetic datum, or terrestrial reference frame, such that unique positions relative to that datum or terrestrial reference frame can be converted to and from commensurately unique positions on that plane.(5)
"GIAC" means Geographic Information Advisory Council(6)
"NGS" means National Geodetic Survey(7)
"NOAA" means National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(8)
"KSPCS" means Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System(9)
The "KSPCS" is the collection of all series applicable to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.(10)
"NSRS" means National Spatial Reference System(11)
"SPCS" means State Plane Coordinate System(12)
A "state plane layer" is a collection of one or more zones, all defined on a common geodetic datum or terrestrial reference frame and designed to achieve, in aggregate, a common theme based on similar performance characteristics that may cover the Commonwealth in part or in whole.(13)
A "state plane series" is a collection of one or more layers defined on a common and unique geodetic datum or terrestrial reference frame representing a complete implementation of the national State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) for the Commonwealth on that datum or terrestrial reference frame.(14)
A "state plane zone", or "zone," is a geographic region covered by a uniquely defined geodetically referenced mapping projection and generally comprised of a collection of mutually adjacent whole counties such that all included counties lie completely within a given zone. In special cases a zone may partially cover a county or parts of mutually adjacent counties in order to represent a geographic area of specific interest. A zone may cover the Commonwealth either in part or in whole.Section 2.
(1)
The KSPCS shall be based on a series of layered zones covered by geodetically referenced mapping projections adopted and supported by the NGS as a component of the NSRS.(2)
The KSPCS shall consist of the following plane series:(a)
Series 1: North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27);(b)
Series 2: North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83);(c)
Series 3: North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022), except that this series shall not be utilized until the terrestrial reference frames defining SPCS2022 have been officially adopted and are supported by the National Geodetic Survey; and(d)
Additional series based on new datums or terrestrial reference frames as they are officially adopted and supported by NGS as part of the NSRS.(3)
The Commonwealth Office of Technology (COT), as advised by the Geographic Information Advisory Council (GIAC), shall develop and maintain the Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System Standards and Specifications Document, hereinafter referred to as the KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document.(4)
The KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document shall describe, in detail, the standards and specifications for each series of layered zones adopted in subsection (2) of this section. Anticipated series based on new datums or terrestrial reference frames under development by the National Geodetic Survey may be addressed within the KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document but shall not be implemented or utilized until officially adopted and supported by NGS as part of the NSRS.(5)
The KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document shall provide pertinent information and narratives required to adequately describe implementation of the KSPCS, including historical context, underlying concepts, and policy. Additional information not specifically required herein but deemed necessary to facilitate greater understanding of the KSPCS may also be included within the document.(6)
The KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document shall reconcile or otherwise clarify nomenclature and terminology adopted and/or refined by NGS when such adaptations result in ambiguities relating to similar terms and language utilized within KRS 1:010, KRS 1:020, and/or this KAR.(7)
For each state plane series adopted in subsection (2), the KSPCS Standards and Specifications Document shall provide a detailed description containing:(a)
The series name,(b)
The datum or terrestrial reference frame upon which the series is defined, including the reference ellipsoid and its defining parameters, and(c)

For all other projection types, the Central Parallel shall be used as the basis for the false northing and false easting coordinate values for establishing the location of the projected grid origin.(f)
When defined by the transverse Mercator (TM) or oblique Mercator (OM) projection types, or implementing the single standard parallel definition of the Lambert Conformal Conic projection type, the projection axis scale factor shall be provided and expressed to 6 full decimal places representing the nearest one part per million increment.(g)

The use of the KSPCS shall be mandatory for all Executive Branch Agencies and their contractors to manage geospatial data.(11)
The use of the KSPCS shall be voluntary for all private and non-executive branch uses or applications, but is strongly recommended as the desired method for referencing geographic positions and spatial data pertaining to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. However, an election to utilize KSPCS shall require compliance with this regulation.Section 3.
