The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is an interagency committee, organized in 1990 under OMB Circular A-16 that promotes the coordinated use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data on a national basis. The FGDC is composed of representatives from nineteen Cabinet level and independent federal agencies. The Steering Committee sets high-level strategic direction for the FGDC as a whole. The Coordination Group advises on the day-to day business of the FGDC. Staff support for FGDC committees is provided by the FGDC Secretariat staff.
The FGDC subcommittees are organized by data themes. Working groups play a crosscutting role, dealing with issues that span many subcommittees.
