National Geospatial Data Asset Management Plan 2 Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) A Federal interagency committee that promotes the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data on a national basis Coordination Group member representing USGS Primary: Dick Vraga, Alternate: Glenn Guempel, OMB Circular A-16 “Coordination of Geographic Information and Related Spatial Data Activities”, August 1992 (revised) Establishes the FGDC and its role Provides direction for federal agencies that produce, maintain, or use spatial data either directly or indirectly in the fulfillment of their mission Describes the components of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

3 OMB Circular A-16 Supplemental Guidance Guidance to Federal agencies on implementing Circular A-16 to ensure a coordinated, efficient, transparent, and responsive Federal geospatial enterprise Defines and clarifies selected elements of Circular A-16 to ensure that further implementation of Circular A-16 results in a coordinated geospatial asset management capability Geospatial portfolio management approach, data elements and relationships Management processes for the National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Portfolio Defines a process for updating Circular A-16 Data Themes Geospatial data lifecycle management approach (Circular A-130) Coordinated process for planning, reporting, and budget recommendations Defines the Federal agency’s roles and responsibilities for implementing Circular A-16. Outlines a coordinated investment strategy that aligns with existing agency and OMB processes. National Geospatial Data Asset Management Plan

Focus on National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Datasets Portfolio Management Implementation Addresses A-16 Supplemental Guidance Portfolio management goals in the NSDI Strategic Plan 6 National Geospatial Data Asset Management Plan

7 Vision A National Spatial Data Infrastructure Portfolio consisting of a core set of National Geospatial Data Assets (NGDAs) that are sufficiently complete, current, and accessible to support the critical business and mission requirements of the Federal Government, its partners and stakeholders. Goal Implement a systematic and efficient A–16 NGDA Portfolio management process that supports and optimizes investments in Federal geospatial assets for effective sharing, collaboration, and use of core geospatial data across Federal agencies and with their partners and stakeholders, in an environment that supports efficient and effective decision-making.

3-year phased approach Includes actions that establish a framework  e.g. identifying Theme leads, registering data services, and establishing Theme communities on the Geospatial Platform That implement and sustain an annual process 8 National Geospatial Data Asset Management Plan

What is an A-16 NGDA Dataset? Meets one or more of the following criteria: Used by more than one program Used by more than one Federal Agency Used by Multiple levels of government Directly supports implementation of Administration Initiatives Are Legislatively mandated and/or required by Executive Orders/Directives Currently 196 Datasets identified 10 National Geospatial Data Asset Management Plan
