The Department's Compliance with the Geospatial Data Act

We found that the Department is in compliance with the applicable requirements outlined under section 759(a) of the Geospatial Data Act. Specifically, we found that the Department implemented all 10 of the 13 covered agency responsibilities listed in Section 759(a) of the Geospatial Data Act that we reviewed. We were unable to evaluate compliance with three covered agency responsibilities as the strategic planapplicable to two of the responsibilities has not yet been issued by the Federal Geographic Data Committee and applicable data standards related to the third responsibility have not yet been defined by the FGDC and Office of Management and Budget.
