National Geospatial Advisory Committee
The National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) is a Federal
Advisory Committee sponsored by the Department of the Interior under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The NGAC reports to the Chair of
the Federal Geographic Data Committee (Secretary of the Interior or
designee). The scope and objectives of the NGAC are described in the
NGAC Charter: “The Committee will provide advice and recommendations
related to management of Federal and national geospatial programs, the
development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and the
implementation of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-16 and
Executive Order 12906. The Committee will review and comment upon
geospatial policy and management issues and will provide a forum to
convey views representative of non-federal stakeholders in the
geospatial community.”
