Purpose of A-16 Supplemental Guidance Clarify the objectives outlined in 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 setsImprove ability to coordinate and collaborate on completion of Circular A-16 themes and associated data sets by Federal agencies and their partnersDevelop a process to modify Circular A-16 Appendix E themes and associated data sets to reflect the current business of Federal agencies and their partners

Value of Portfolio Management

Portfolio management will support: A comprehensive approach for managing National

Geospatial Data Assets A trusted Data offering on the Geospatial Platform Provides a better understanding of what data is

available across agencies Informed decision making A basis for making sound investments

Plan OverviewThe NGAM Plan outlines the approach for instituting the portfolio management process as outlined in OMB Circular A–16 Supplemental Guidance (2010). Most of the plan will serve as the implementation plan for Goal 2 of the 2014-2016 NSDI Strategic Plan.The FGDC Steering Committee will oversee the implementation process and monitor progress.Outcomes: A robust and accessible set of core geospatial datasets, called

National Geospatial Data Assets (NGDAs), which will improve mission support for Federal agencies, their partners and stakeholders.

Opportunities for collaborative investments through partnerships to leverage resources, avoid duplication and enhance return on investments

Plan Overview cont.

Actions derived from goals and objectives from key documents, developed with extensive input from representatives from Federal agencies and a wide array of geospatial stakeholders: OMB Circular A–16, Supplemental Guidance, November 10,

2010 NSDI Strategic Plan: 2014—2016, December 2013

Outlines a 3-year phased approachIncludes actions that have/are occurring to establish a framework e.g. identifying Theme leads, registering data services, and

establishing Theme communities on the Geospatial PlatformIncludes actions for implementing and sustaining an annual process

Alignment with Other PoliciesAgencies to ensure compliance with associated policies and reporting directivesShould be included in, and align with, the Agencies’ business practices and execution

For ExampleOpen Data Policy M-13-13Open GovernmentDigital Strategy for the 21st Century

12

Primary Comment Topics Common threads: Timelines (resource availability/due dates) Dataset and Theme Maturity Baseline

Assessment (when available for review/completion)

Connections with Agency Budget Processes (ensure clear link with Portfolio Management process and individual agency budget processes)

Do not create unnecessary reporting mechanisms (leverage existing efforts)

13

Ex Com Meeting, 1/28/14Suggested slight modifications to the organization of the document within the existing framework of the Plan;

Suggested changes included: Revising the wording for the two main sections of the

document and clarifying some content Condensing some areas; moving some of the actions; and

reworking the Priority Setting/Budget Process section to better enable the portfolio management process

A few members of the ExCom met to discuss additional geospatial investments more broadly and the connections with the Plan. OMB suggested including language addressing related

geospatial investments other than data
