Interagency Group on Insular Areas (IGIA)

Through Executive Order 13299, the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary’s designee convenes the IGIA, presides at its meetings and directs its work in providing advice on the establishment or implementation of policies concerning American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).

The IGIA was intended to help improve the internal Executive branch management of insular issues. The Secretary chairs the IGIA and the Secretary’s Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) coordinates, organizes and staffs the IGIA meetings.
