The FGDC Steering Committee is the policy-level interagency group responsible for providing leadership and direction in support of the  Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16 related activities and the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The Steering Committee’s central focus is to provide the executive leadership for the coordination of federal geospatial activities between, among, and within agencies. The Steering Committee Charter  has information about the responsibilities, membership, authorities and decision making processes of the committee. A subset of the Steering Committee also serves as the FGDC Executive Committee.
