Geospatial Line of Business Update A-16 Supplemental

This document provides foundational guidance to clarify the intent of OMB Circular A-16 and Executive Order 12906. It promotes systematic portfolio management for geospatial themes and datasets and improves coordination and collaboration between federal agencies and their partners. The guidance includes roles and responsibilities, a lexicon of geospatial terminology, stages of the data lifecycle, and geospatial data theme principles. Key accomplishments include a wide sharing of the draft, review of comments, and finalization. Next steps include obtaining endorsement, sharing outcomes, and implementation.

  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.
