10、f Management and Budget issued the Federal Data Strategy(hereinafter“Strategy”).2 The Strategy describes a ten-year vision for how the Federal government will accelerate the use of data to support the foundations of democracy,deliver on mission,serve the public,and steward resources while protecting
11、 security,privacy and confidentiality.The Strategy is comprised of three components to guide federal data management and use:a mission statement,10 principles that serve as motivational guidelines for the overall Strategy,and a set of 40 practices to guide agencies on how to leverage the value of fe
12、deral and federally sponsored data.The mission statement,principles,and practices are presented in final form in M-19-18,and additional detail regarding their development can be found at Strategy.data.gov.Executive Branch agencies(hereinafter“agencies”)3 shall implement the Federal Data Strategy by
13、adhering to the requirements of each years annual government-wide Action Plan,which will identify priority action steps for a given year,incrementally build from year to year,and complement as needed requirements of new statute and policy.The priority of the 2019-2020 Federal Data Strategy Action Pl
14、an(hereinafter“Action Plan”)is to establish a firm basis of tools,processes,and capacities to leverage data as a strategic asset and align existing efforts.This Action Plan describes the steps that are viewed as fundamental during the first year in order to execute the full breadth of the Federal Da
15、ta Strategy over time.They are informed by and build upon previous efforts,align with ongoing Federal Government programs and policies,and should complement new statutory requirements.4 By one year after the release of this Action Plan,the Federal Government will have begun to implement the Federal
16、Data Strategy through a set of fundamental actions.Specifically,Designated entities will develop and share government-wide resources and/or tools for implementing the Federal Data Strategy related to governance,ethical data management and use,data protection,workforce training,streamlined access to
17、federal data assets,and the establishment of data inventories and data cataloging.Specific federal communities will improve the management and use of specific data asset portfolios including geospatial data and financial management data.Federal agencies will begin working across silos to determine h
18、ow they can better support their missions and serve stakeholders by making better use of the Federal Governments full portfolio of data assets.Agencies will be investing in necessary infrastructure improvements,including workforce training and improvements related to data protection and access.As th
19、e Federal Government undertakes these actions,there will be benefits to academia,industry,and the public as agencies use data to improve mission and service.The public will be better able to leverage 1 Performance.gov/LeveragingData 2 M-19-18,the Federal Data Strategy.3 Agency as defined in 44 U.S.C

22、is Action Plan consists of 16 fundamental action steps.Each action step describes the desired result of successful implementation of the action step,identifies an entity responsible for executing the action,lists related Federal Data Strategy practices,establishes the identified metrics for measurin
23、g progress during the first year of implementation,and includes a timeline for completion of the action.Shared action steps,with the exception of Action 1 and 5,have received financial resources as part of the Cross-Agency Priority Goal:Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset.5 All other action steps a
24、re expected to be completed with current agency funding resources.Figure 1.Relationship between the Federal Data Strategy and the 2019-2020 Federal Data Action Plan Figure 1 depicts the Federal Data Strategy,which is comprised of three components:a mission statement,principles and practices,and the
25、Action Plan,designed to implement fundamental aspects of the larger Strategy.The Action Plan includes three categories of actions,described below.Shared actions are led by a single agency or existing council for the benefit of all agencies and with available cross-agency resources.They provide gover
26、nment-wide thought leadership,direction,tools,and/or services for implementing the Federal Data Strategy.Funding is identified to implement each of the identified shared actions through the Presidents Management Agenda.Community actions are taken by a group of agencies around a common topic,usually
27、through an established cross-agency council or other existing coordinating mechanism,and with available cross-agency resources.They represent ongoing,mature,cross-agency priorities that will use the Federal Data Strategy practices and implementation guidance to more quickly and consistently achieve
28、their goals.5 Federal Government Priority Goals(commonly referred to as the Cross-Agency Priority Goals,or CAP Goals)were established by the Government Performance and Results(GPRA)Modernization Act(31 U.S.C.1120)and are set at the beginning of each Presidential term in consultation with Congress.In
29、 FY2017 and FY2018,a total of$11.2 million were available each year to support CAP Goal projects under transfer authority provided by Congress.Agency-specific actions are taken by an individual agency and are designed to build capacity using currently available agency resources.They set expectations
30、 for progress and success in implementing the practices.By focusing on a handful of specific actions at each level of data management and use,this Action Plan establishes an array of foundational actions designed to align activities and set a firm foundation of tools,processes,and capacity to levera
31、ge data as a strategic asset.To support the Federal Data Strategy and this Action Plan,implementation guidance will be routinely updated on Strategy.data.gov.Shared Actions:Government-wide Data Services Action 1:Create an OMB Data Council Action 1:Create an OMB Data Council By November 2019,the Offi
32、ce of Management and Budget will establish a cross-office Data Council that will coordinate across statutory offices on information policy development and implementation activities and provide guidance on government-wide data standards and improvements required by statute,such as the Digital Account
33、ability and Transparency Act,the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act(hereinafter“Evidence Act”),and the Geospatial Data Act.The OMB Data Council will also provide to agencies a coordinated voice(or response)and common guidance regarding the implementation of the Federal Data Strategy.OMB
34、s efforts to ensure relevant participants are engaged in data governance will be a model for individual agencies.The OMB Data Council will provide a way to address issues that cross agencies and OMBs statutory functions to help inform government-wide management and budget priorities for data managem

36、g Action 2:Develop a Curated Data Science Training and Credentialing CatalogCatalog By February 2020,Federal agencies will have access to a curated catalog of federal and non-federal training offerings in data science,aligned to federal needs.The General Services Administration(GSA),with federal and
37、 non-federal stakeholder input,will create an inventory of data science training and credentialing opportunities used by and available to federal agencies.The catalog will relate training and credentialing to career paths,including on-ramps for federal employees at various stages of development and
38、interest and will describe the required education and expertise to advance to the next stage of training.The catalog will provide federal employees with the beginnings of a roadmap for how data science training and credentialing can match their development goals.This Action will work in tandem with
39、Action 14 to ensure agencies have sufficient hiring and reskilling options to leverage data as a strategic asset.This shared action has received financial resources as part of the Cross-Agency Priority Goal:Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset and a GSA responsible party has been assigned.Responsibl

41、 2019,the Federal Government will have available a consistent framework for evaluating ethical repercussions and tradeoffs associated with data management and use.GSA will work with academia,professional associations,and federal data stakeholders to create a Data Ethics Framework that provides key d
42、ecision points and considerations for ethical data management and use that go beyond legal requirements and supports the Federal Data Strategy principles.Specifically,GSA will research relevant ethical frameworks for data management and use,will then conduct stakeholder feedback on a draft Data Ethi
43、cs Framework alongside academic and professional association partners,and finally will publish and promote the Data Ethics Framework for the Federal Government.This framework will build on fitness for use assessments,including potential use in automated technologies,such as Artificial Intelligence(A
