    FGDC Subcommittees Note:Working Group and Subcommittee Charter Updates
FGDC subcommittees are comprised of representatives from Federal agencies and FGDC recognized stakeholder groups who share a common interest in specific types of geospatial data - typically those geospatial data themes specified byOMB Circular A-16(Coordination of Geographic Information and Related Spatial Data Activities). Each subcommittee focuses on issues that pertain to coordination and standards associated with a geospatial data theme with regard to data collection, access, exchange, and applications using those data.
Many of the FGDC subcommittees actively assist in the implementation of the NGDA Management Plan and, in fact, many members of the subcommittees are designated as NGDA Theme Leads or NGDA Dataset Managers. Members of the subcommittees have updated and (or) registered NGDA Dataset metadata that is harvested for the Data.gov and Geoplatform.gov catalog. These actions increase opportunities for discovery, access, and shared use of the NGDA Datasets. The subcommittees’ members are supporting the NGDA Theme and Dataset maturity assessments, which are critical to providing relevant andmeaningful information for decision making by senior executives.
