NSDI Strategic Plan Drivers

OMB Circular A-16 GAO Report (GAO-13-94): Geospatial Information – OMB and Agencies Need to Make Coordination a Priority to Reduce Duplication (November 2012)NGAC Paper: Toward A National Geospatial Strategy (December 2012)Digital Government Strategy Open Government Directive Open Data Policy

GAO Recommendation (GAO-13-94)

…The Secretary of the Interior, as the FGDC chair should establish a time frame for creating and updating a strategic plan to improve coordination and reduce duplication, and create and implement the plan within the established time frame. The plan, at a minimum, should include:1. a vision statement for the NSDI 2. outcome-oriented goals and objectives that address all aspects of

the NSDI3. a description of how the goals and objectives are to be achieved,

including a description of the resources needed to achieve the goals and objectives and how the FGDC is to work with other agencies to achieve them

4. performance measures for achieving the stated goals; and 5. external factors that could affect the achievement of the goals

and objectives.
