The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) collects and maintains necessary geospatial data to meet
our mission in accordance with the Federal Funding Accountability
and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended (31 U.S.C. 6101);
Geospatial Data Act of 2018 (43 U.S.C. chapter 46, 2801–2811);
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Public
Law 104–113); Open, Public, Electronic, and Necessary (OPEN)
Government Data Act; Title II of the Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act of 2018 (Public Law 115–435); OMB Circular A-16,
“Coordination of Geographic Information and Related Spatial Data
Activities”; OMB Circular A-119, “Federal Participation in the
Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in
Conformity Assessment Activities”; and OMB Circular A-130,
“Managing Information as a Strategic Resource.” Geospatial data
identifies and depicts geographic locations, boundaries, and
characteristics of features on the surface of the earth. Geospatial
data includes geographic coordinates (e.g., latitude and longitude)
to identify the location of earth’s features, and data associated
to geographic locations (e.g., land survey data and land cover type
data). The Service’s organizational ArcGIS online program (AGOL),
accessed at http://fws.maps.arcgis.com, is an easy place to share
data with the public and partners, as well as internally among
Service staff. It can also be used to build and deploy
mobile-enabled online maps, applications, and services for
geographic information systems (GIS) users and non-GIS users alike.
Sensitive data is restricted from public access via an
internal-facing intranet version of AGOL. Moreover, because the
system contains only controlled unclassified information (CUI) that
would be designated as low impact under the Federal Information
Security Act (FISMA; 2002), no personally identifiable information
(PII) is allowed within the system. The AGOL platform enables the
Service to effectively manage geospatial data resources and
technology to successfully deliver geospatial services in support
of the Service’s mission. Data collected through AGOL enables
improved visualization, analysis, interoperability, modeling,
sharing, and decision support. The benefits include increased
accuracy, increased productivity, and more efficient information
management and application support.
