deliver mission outcomes, provide 

excellent service, and effectively 

steward taxpayer dollars on behalf of 

the American people. The PMA 

established a Cross-Agency Priority 

(CAP) goal of Leveraging Data as a 

Strategic Asset with an intended 

purpose of guiding development of a 

comprehensive long-term Federal Data 

Strategy to grow the economy, increase 

the effectiveness of the Federal 

Government, facilitate oversight, and 

promote transparency (https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose 

The Under Secretary for Economic 

Affairs, performing the nonexclusive 

duties and functions of the Deputy 

Secretary of the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, along with the Federal Chief 

Information Officer, the Chief 

Statistician of the United States, and 

executives from the U.S. Small Business 

Administration and the White House 

Office of Science and Technology 

Policy, is charged with developing a 

comprehensive Federal Data Strategy 

under the PMA CAP goal of Leveraging 

Data as a Strategic Asset. Under this 

goal, the Federal Government should 

leverage programmatic, statistical, and 

mission-support data as a strategic asset 

to grow the economy, increase the 

effectiveness of the Federal 

Government, facilitate oversight, and 

promote transparency. The Federal 

Government’s role in collecting and 

disseminating data is rooted in the U.S. 

Constitution. Advances in data science 

have transformed the production and 

use of data across society, business, and 

government. The Federal Government 

needs a robust, integrated approach to 

creating, acquiring, using, and 

disseminating data to deliver on 

mission, serve customers, and steward 

resources while respecting privacy and 

confidentiality. Over the next year, an 

interdisciplinary team from multiple 

federal agencies will develop work 

products, including principles, 

practices, and action steps for a unified 

approach to federal data stewardship 

and use, and will test potential plans as 

part of The Data Incubator Project 

(described below). Stakeholder 

engagement is critical to developing a 

data strategy that is viable and 

sustainable. This Federal Register 

notice is the first of three notices and 

requests for comment to seek public 

input on the strategy and process. This 

notice seeks comments on a four-part 

strategy to: 

1. Manage government data as a 

strategic asset; 

2. enable the American public, 

businesses, and researchers to 

effectively and efficiently access and 

use data; 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
30114 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Notices 

3. improve the use of data for federal 

decision-making and accountability, 

including for policy-making, 

innovation, oversight, and learning; and 

4. facilitate the use of federal data by 

interested parties to enhance the 

accessibility and usefulness of that data 

through commercial ventures, or 

innovation, or for additional public 

uses. 

Request for Comments 

This is a general solicitation of 

comments from the public that offers 

businesses, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, government 

entities, and other interested parties the 

opportunity to offer best practices and 

use cases to support the Federal Data 

Strategy. Comments also are sought on 

draft Principles for a Comprehensive 

Federal Data Strategy. Finally, 

commenters are invited to list 

additional mechanisms that the Federal 

Government should use to seek 

interested parties’ input on the data 

strategy. It is for information-gathering 

and fact-finding purposes only, and 

should not be construed as a request for 

proposals or as an obligation on the part 

of the U.S. Department of Commerce or 

federal agencies to agree with submitted 

comments or to incorporate 

recommendations identified in public 

comments regarding specific work 

products. 

The U.S. Department of Commerce 

requests that respondents briefly 

address the following questions, where 

possible and applicable. Respondents 

are encouraged to focus on questions 

informed by relevant expertise or 

perspectives. Clearly indicate which 

question(s) you address in your 

response and any evidence to support 

assertions, where practicable. 

Best Practices Related to the Four 

Pillars of the Federal Data Strategy 

1. Enterprise Data Governance. Briefly 

describe which best practices the 

Federal Government should consider as 

it sets priorities for managing 

government data as a strategic asset, 

including establishing data policies, 

specifying roles and responsibilities for 

data privacy, security, and 

confidentiality protection, and 

monitoring compliance with standards 

and policies throughout the information 

lifecycle. 

2. Access, Use, and Augmentation. 

List a few best practices that the Federal 

Government should consider as it 

develops policies and practices to 

enable interested parties to effectively 

and efficiently access and use data 

assets by: (1) Making data available 

more quickly and in more useful 

formats; (2) maximizing the amount of 

non-sensitive data shared with the 

public; and (3) leveraging new 

technologies and best practices to 

increase access to sensitive or restricted 

data while protecting privacy, security, 

and confidentiality, and the interests of 

data providers. 

3. Decision-Making and 

Accountability. Which best practices 

should the Federal Government 

consider to improve the use of data 

assets for decision-making and 

accountability? Specifically, list best 

practices for: 

• Providing high quality and timely 

information to inform decision-making 

and learning; 

• facilitating external research on the 

effectiveness of government programs 

and policies which will inform future 

policymaking; and 

• fostering public accountability and 

transparency by providing accurate and 

timely spending information, 

performance metrics, and other 

administrative data. 

4. Commercialization, Innovation, and 

Public Use. Outline best practices that 

the Federal Government should 

consider to facilitate the use of Federal 

Government data interested parties to 

enhance the accessibility and usefulness 

of the data through commercial 

ventures, or innovation, or for 

additional public uses. Of particular 

interest are examples of how the Federal 

Government can promote data use by 

the private sector and scientific and 

research communities, by state and local 

governments for public policy purposes, 

for education, and in enabling civic 

engagement. Please include up to four 

examples of: 

• How enabling external users to 

access and use government data for 

commercial or additional public 

purposes spurs innovative technological 

solutions and fills gaps in government 

capacity and knowledge; and 

• how supporting the production and 

dissemination of comprehensive, 

accurate, and objective statistics on the 

state of the nation helps businesses and 

markets operate more efficiently. 

Interim Work Products 

5. Principles. The interagency team on 

Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset has 

written a draft set of principles for a 

comprehensive data strategy. Please 

review and provide feedback on their 

clarity, appropriateness, completeness, 

and potential duplications. 

Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset: 

Principles for a Comprehensive Federal 

Data Strategy 

The following broad principles are 

intended to guide the development of a 

comprehensive data strategy that 

encompasses the breadth of data the 

Federal Government acquires, uses, and 

disseminates for program, statistical, 

and mission-support purposes. These 

principles include concepts reflected in 

existing principles, such as those for the 

protection of personal information, for 

federal statistical agencies, and for 

federal evidence building. The 

principles will inform the development 

of practices and action steps for the 

Federal Data Strategy throughout the 

data lifecycle. 

Stewardship 

1. Exercise Responsibility: Practice 

effective data stewardship and 

governance by maintaining modern data 

security practices, protecting individual 

privacy, and maintaining promised 

confidentiality. 

2. Uphold Ethics: Consider, monitor, 

and assess the implications of federal 

data practices for the public and provide 

sufficient checks and balances to protect 

and serve the public interest. 

3. Promote Transparency: Articulate 

purposes for acquiring, using, and 

disseminating data and 

comprehensively document processes 

and products to inform data users. 

Quality 

4. Integrate Intentionality: Create, 

acquire, use, and disseminate data 

deliberately and thoughtfully, 

considering quality, consistency, 

privacy, value, reuse, and 

interoperability from the start. 

5. Ensure Relevance: Validate that 

data are high quality, useful, 

understandable, timely, and needed. 

6. Create Value: Coordinate and 

prioritize data needs and uses, harness 

data from multiple sources, and acquire 

new data only when necessary. 

Continuous Improvement 

7. Demonstrate Responsiveness: 

Improve data sharing and access with 

ongoing input from users and other 

stakeholders. 

8. Prioritize Best Practices: Model, 

assess, and continuously update best 

practices throughout the data lifecycle. 

9. Invest in Learning: Promote a 

culture of continuous and collaborative 

learning with data and about data. 

10. Practice Accountability: Audit 

data practices, document and learn from 

results, and make changes as needed 

based on findings.

6. Call for Use Cases. What Use Cases 

should the Federal Government 

consider in developing the Federal Data 

Strategy? 

Federal Data Strategy: Call for Use 

Cases 

To solve the most pressing issues 

facing the nation, we must leverage data 

as a strategic asset. The United States 

Federal Data Strategy seeks to replicate, 

scale, and prioritize key data use cases 

to serve the public. 

What is a Use Case? 

For the purposes of the Federal Data 

Strategy, a ‘‘Use Case’’ is a data practice 

or method that leverages data to support 

an articulable Federal agency mission or 

public interest outcome. The Federal 

Data Strategy is seeking best practices, 

missed opportunities, common 

solutions, and game changers that can 

help inform the four strategy areas: 

1. Enterprise Data Governance. What 

data governance and stewardship 

practices should the Federal 

Government be employing and why? 

2. Use, Access, and Augmentation. 

What data interoperability techniques or 

coordination tactics would better serve 

agency missions and the public? 

3. Decision-making and 

Accountability. How can the Federal 

Government better assist policy-makers 

with data? 

4. Commercialization, Innovation, and 

Public Use. What data solutions could 

address a pervasive problem in 

government service delivery or the 

public sphere? 

Example Use Case Submissions 

• Economic Development—State and 

local authorities increasingly need 

detailed local information about their 

economies to make informed decisions. 

The US Census Bureau’s Longitudinal 

Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) 

program (https://lehd.ces.census.gov/) 

produces new, cost effective, public-use 

information combining federal, state 

and Census Bureau data on employers 

and employees under the Local 

Employment Dynamics (LED) 

Partnership (https://lehd.ces.census.

gov/state_partners/). 

• National Security—Preventing and 

minimizing adverse effects of cyberattacks is imperative to national security 

in the 21st century. National Institute of 

Standards and Technology’s National 

Vulnerability Database (https://

nvd.nist.gov/) and the Homeland 

Security Systems Engineering and 

Development Institute’s Common 

Vulnerabilities and Exposure (https://

cve.mitre.org/) list enable automation of 

vulnerability management, security 

measurement, and compliance. 

• Education—Students seek colleges 

that give them the best return on their 

investment. The College Scorecard 

(https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/) 

provides up-to-date, comprehensive, 

and reliable information about college 

costs, student loan amounts, student 

ability to repay loans, and their 

expected earnings. 

• Public Safety—Emergency 

responders rely on up-to-date addresses 

for timely response. The Federal 

Geospatial Data Committee (https://

www.fgdc.gov/topics/national-addressdatabase) recognizes the need for a free, 

open, and up-to-date National Address 

Database (NAD) (https://

www.transportation.gov/nad) to serve 

these critical needs as well as a broad 

range of government services such as 

mail delivery, permitting, and school 

siting. Based on a minimum content 

approach, the Department of 

Transportation and the US Census 

Bureau’s NAD pilot collected and 

standardized addresses from 22 state 

partners. 

• Health—Local communities and 

health professionals reacting to the 

opioid crisis require timely data to 

assess impact and deliver effective 

interventions. The Department of Health 

and Human Services’ 5 Point Strategy to 

Combat the Opioids Crisis includes 

Point 2, Better Data (https://

www.hhs.gov/opioids/about-theepidemic/hhs-response/better-data/ 

index.html)—supporting more timely, 

specific public health data and 

reporting, and accelerating the Center 

for Disease Control’s reporting of drug 

overdose data. 

Why does the Federal Data Strategy 

need Use Cases? 

While many high-level civic data 

challenges have been identified— 

archaic data management practices and 

IT legacy systems, issues with data 

sharing and interoperability, and a lack 

of secondary use considerations—the 

Federal Government lacks an overall 

approach to prioritize data 

infrastructure improvements that serve 

the public. The Federal Data Strategy is 

seeking priority data use cases to ensure 

it is comprehensive and actionable. 

How will the Federal Data Strategy 

incorporate Use Cases? 

These use cases will be identified and 

discussed in the Federal Data Strategy, 

and a select number of ready use cases 

will be assessed more deeply in The 

Data Incubator Project. 

What is The Data Incubator Project? 

A select number of Use Cases deemed 

‘‘ripe for testing’’ will be included in 

The Data Incubator Project. To be ‘‘ripe 

for testing,’’ these Use Cases must 

demonstrate potential for replication, 

scaling, and mission impact. They also 

must have a ready team for further 

exploration and assessment purposes. 

The Data Incubator Project is not a new 

platform or set of resources, but rather 

is focused research aimed at identifying 

methods for the Federal Data Strategy 

and for agencies going forward. The 

Federal Data Strategy team will seek 

academic, private sector, and NGO 

partnerships to further our learning 

from The Data Incubator Project. 

How can I submit a Use Case? 

Please submit information about Use 

Cases in response to this RFC by July 27, 

2018. 

To ensure complete use case entries, 

please provide as much contextual 

information as possible, such as: contact 

information for follow-up questions, the 

Federal agencies or bureaus related to 

the relevant data, related reference 

materials (including URLs) such as 

documentation about the data, practice, 

or goal of the project, and why this Use 

Case should be included in Federal Data 

Strategy development. 

Stakeholder Engagement 

7. What are the best mechanisms for 

engaging stakeholders in the 

development of the data strategy? What 

platforms and processes are both 

comprehensive and efficient for 

collecting stakeholder feedback on
