About this file
This is a geospatial data instructions attachment outlining compliance requirements for federal recipients managing geospatial information under Department of the Interior financial assistance awards.
Recipients must first conduct a due diligence search on GeoPlatform.gov to determine whether required geospatial data, products, or services already exist before producing new data. If existing data is available, recipients must utilize it rather than creating duplicate datasets. When new geospatial data production is necessary, all work must comply with guidance and standards established by the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), available at www.fgdc.gov. All geospatial information system (GIS) data produced or collected under the award must be submitted in digital format to the relevant bureau or office in open file formats. Delineated GIS data—including points, lines, and polygons—must be compliant with approved open data standards and include complete feature-level metadata. Additionally, pursuant to 2 CFR 1402.315, all data, methodology, factual inputs, models, analyses, technical information, reports, conclusions, and scientific assessments resulting from the financial assistance agreement must be made available to the Department of the Interior in a manner sufficient for independent verification. The Federal Government retains rights to obtain, reproduce, publish, and authorize third-party use of all such materials for federal purposes, including meaningful third-party evaluation.

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.
