Authority and Plan Development
One of the FGDC's responsibilities under the Geospatial Data Act (GDA) is to "prepare and maintain a strategic plan for the development and implementation of the NSDI in a manner consistent with national security, national defense, and emergency preparedness program policies regarding data accessibility." The GDA describes the NSDI as "the technology, policies, criteria, standards, and employees necessary to promote geospatial data sharing throughout the Federal Government, State, Tribal, and local governments, and the private sector (including nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education)." The draft plan has been developed with inputs from a variety of sources, including FGDC member agencies, the National Geospatial Advisory Committee, and geospatial partner organizations.
