About this file
This is a geospatial data compliance document that outlines requirements for federal recipients receiving Department of the Interior financial assistance funds for geospatial data collection or production under the Geospatial Data Act of 2018. Recipients must first conduct due diligence by checking GeoPlatform.gov to determine if required geospatial data already exists; if available, existing data must be used rather than producing new data. When new geospatial data must be produced, recipients must follow Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC) guidance and standards available at www.fgdc.gov. All GIS data files must be submitted in open format with complete feature-level metadata compliant with approved open data standards. Additionally, under 2 CFR 1402.315, all data, methodology, analyses, and scientific assessments resulting from financial assistance agreements must be available to the Department of the Interior for independent verification and federal purposes, with the Federal Government retaining the right to obtain, reproduce, publish, and authorize others to use such materials.
This requirement applies to the USGS Cooperative Agreement for affiliated partners with the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which funds research to improve accuracy assessment and area estimation for annual remote-sensing based land-cover monitoring. The EROS Center is modernizing land cover monitoring capabilities through artificial intelligence and machine learning for Landsat satellite data analysis, with research focused on advancing sampling and statistical strategies for accuracy assessment and evaluating reference data uncertainties to support the Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD). Eligible recipients must be participating partners of the Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU, with applications submitted through Grants.gov using SF 424 forms; the program operates under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection) and is subject to 2 CFR 200 and Department of the Interior regulations 2 CFR Part 1402.

Geospatial Requirements:
The Geospatial Data Act of 2018 outlines specific requirements for federal recipients when collecting or producing geospatial data using Department of the Interior financial assistance funds. Here’s a summary of the key points:
· Due Diligence Search: Federal recipients must first check the GeoPlatform.gov list of datasets to see if the needed geospatial data, products, or services already exist.
· Use of Existing Data: If the required data is already available, recipients must use it rather than producing new data.
· Production of New Data: If the needed data is not available, recipients must produce new geospatial data, products, or services in accordance with guidance and standards established by the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), which can be found at www.fgdc.gov.
· Submission Requirements: Recipients must submit a digital copy of all GIS data produced or collected under the award to the relevant bureau or office.
· Data Format: All GIS data files must be in an open format.
· Metadata Requirements: All delineated GIS data (such as points, lines, or polygons) should be compliant with approved open data standards and include complete feature-level metadata.
These requirements ensure that geospatial data is managed efficiently, used appropriately, and made accessible in a standardized format for future use and sharing. open data standards with complete feature level metadata.
2 CFR 1402.315 Availability of Data
(a) All data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, valuation products or other scientific assessments in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual, resulting from a financial assistance agreement is available for use by the Department of the Interior, including being available in a manner that is sufficient for independent verification.
(b) The Federal Government has the right to:
(1) Obtain, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, or other scientific assessments, produced under a federal award; and
(2) Authorize others to receive, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use such data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, or other scientific assessments, for federal purposes, including to allow for meaningful third-party evaluation.
