Plan Overview The PfM Implementation 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 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 5
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 approach Includes actions that have/are occurring to establish a framework e.g. identifying Theme leads, registering data services, and establishing Theme communities on the Geospatial Platform Includes actions for implementing and sustaining an annual process 6
Alignment with Other Policies Agencies to ensure compliance with associated policies and reporting directives Should be included in the Agencies business practices and execution For Example Open Data Policy M-13-13 Mosaic effect: combining multiple information sources may pose a risk of exposing PII or other potentially sensitive information Ultimately it is the responsibility of each agency to perform the necessary analysis and comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies 9
Primary Comment Topics to date 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) Reviewers need to supply content for inputs, not just comments, to ensure issues are addressed and the plan aligns with their agency s processes and needs 10

Ex Com Meeting, 1/28/14 Suggested slight modifications to the organization of the document within the existing framework of the Plan; Impacted the Steering Committee endorsement vote planned for the February 13th meeting - will review and discuss the updated version 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 the following week to discuss additional geospatial investments more broadly and the connections with the Plan. OMB suggested including language addressing related geospatial investments other than data 12
