<p><em>&#8221; EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT<br />
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET<br />
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503<br />
November 10, 2010<br />
M-11-03</p>
<p>MEMORANDUM TO HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES<br />
FROM: Vivek Kundra<br />
Federal Chief Information Officer<br />
SUBJECT: Issuance of OMB Circular A-16 Supplemental Guidance</p>
<p>Data-management, and particularly geospatial data-management, is one of the essential components for addressing the management of the business of government and for supporting the effective and economical use of tax dollars. It is, however, susceptible to constant renewal, information quality, and information management challenges. A portfolio-centric model cures the single agency, stovepipe model by applying consistent policy, improved organization, better governance, and understanding of the public to deliver outstanding results.</p>
<p>The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16, “Coordination of Geographic Information and Related Spatial Data Activities,” provides for improvements in the coordination and use of spatial data, and describes effective and economical use and management of spatial data assets in the digital environment for the benefit of the Federal Government and the Nation. This Supplemental Guidance document further defines and clarifies selected elements of OMB Circular A-16 to facilitate the adoption and implementation of a coordinated and effective Federal geospatial asset management capability that will improve support of mission-critical business requirements of the Federal Government and its stakeholders.&#8221;</em></p>
