  2. Recommend endorsement of A-16 Supplemental Guidance • Foundational document to: • Clarify the intent of OMB Circular A-16 (Circular A-16) and Executive Order (E.O.) 12906 • Promote systematic portfolio management for Circular A-16 themes and associated data sets • Improve ability to coordinate and collaborate on completion of Circular A-16 themes and associated data setsby Federal agenciesand their partners • Develop a process to modify Circular A-16Appendix Ethemes and associated data sets to reflect the current business of Federal agenciesand their partners

  3. Overview of A-16 Guidance • Roles and Responsibilities: establishes framework, clarifies roles, integrates portfolio management and facilitates communication & partnership opportunities • Lexicon of Geospatial Terminology: provides common terminology as a point of reference • Stages of the Data Lifecycle: formalizes data lifecycles and promotes agency data management & planning • Geospatial Data Theme Principles: defines framework for geospatial assets, establishes a process for amendment and protects against duplication of effort.

  4. Key accomplishments • Widely shared A-16 Supplemental Draft with federal partners, state liaisons & NGAC Subcommittee • Adjudication Panel reviewed: • 197 Federal community comments • 58 comments from NGAC Subcommittee • 16 agencies offered comments • DHS, DHS-FEMA, DOC-Census, DOC-NOAA, DoD-USACE, DOE, DOI-BLM, DOI-BOR, DOI-FWS, DOI-USGS, EPA, HUD, NARA, USDA, USDA-FS, USDA-NCRS • Comments were 50% editorial, 30% for panel discussion and 30% outside the scope of guidance. • Final review included some responsibility shifts, but was primarily editorial in nature.

  5. Next steps • Obtain Steering Committee endorsement • Share outcomes with federal, state, local & tribal governments • Review & update charters • Work with stakeholder agencies in the coming year to begin implementation and build a wider consensus in the geospatial community of interest.
