Figure 2: Bar graph showing 3D Elevation program fiscal year 2015-2024 expenditures. 

Community-wide 3DEP Expenditures Include:

• Partner (Federal and non-Federal partners) data acquisition investments shown in blue. Investments from other USGS programs that are not from the NGP 3DEP budget are included.
• USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP) data acquisition investments shown in dark green
• Program management and data processing and delivery costs shown in light green.
• Supplemental appropriation funds for hurricane and wildfire disaster-related lidar acquisition and data management, shown in purple and light purple, respectively.

Note: The USGS received \$18.3 million in FY18, \$10.2 million in FY19, \$5.3 million in FY21, and \$7.3M in FY23 in disaster supplemental funds for lidar acquisition, plus supplemental funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. The chart shows the funding by year obligated. For example, the FY19 supplemental funding was received at the end of the fiscal year, and \$2.8 million was obligated in FY19 with the remainder obligated in FY20 and FY21. 

The USGS funding for 3DEP is part of the Core Science Systems - National Geospatial Program line item funded by the FY24 appropriations at \$89.650 million. The National Geospatial Program line-item funds 3DEP, the 3D Hydrography Program, US Topo, The National Map viewer, and other components. The FY24 enacted budget included \$42.9 million for acquiring, validating, processing, and delivering 3DEP-quality data to meet the community-wide goal.
