FGDC Annual Summary Reports
The FGDC Annual Summary Reports provide a summary of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) agencies’ annual reports as required under the Geospatial Data Act of 2018 (GDA). The report summarizes the performance and accomplishments of “covered agencies” (agencies identified in the GDA as having specific geospatial management responsibilities), and “lead covered agencies” (covered agencies that also have the lead responsibility for coordination and management of National Geospatial Data Asset [NGDA] data themes) in meeting the annual reporting requirements of the GDA.
