The task of establishing and maintaining a National Database on survey instruments falls under the Land Management Bureau because this database directly supports land administration, cadastral surveys, and the standardization of surveying practices. The LMB handles the tools and methods used in official land surveys, ensuring instruments are calibrated, authorized, and tracked across the country. NAMRIA focuses on mapping and geospatial information, which, while related, is not the specific mandate of maintaining a centralized inventory of survey instruments. The department as a whole is broader, but the specialized bureau most closely aligned with surveying standards and land records is the one responsible for this database. Therefore, the Land Management Bureau is the appropriate agency.
