How to comment

Submit comments at strategy.data.gov/action-plan/ by July 8, 2019. Comments should be informative for the Federal Data Strategy.

We are looking for comments that will help shape the Year-1 Action Plan, specifically on the following:

1. Additional fundamental actions to implement the Federal Data Strategy that are not included in this draft Year-1 Action Plan, with rationale for inclusion.
2. Additional actions that would align with or complement ongoing Federal data initiatives or the implementation of new legislation, such as the Foundations for Evidence-based Policy Making Act of 2018, with rationale for inclusion.
3. Actions in this draft Year-1 Action Plan that should be omitted, with rationale for omission.
4. Any edits and additional detail to ensure that the actions accurately and effectively describe needed activities, responsible entities, metrics for assessing progress, and timelines for completion.
5. Information about the implementation resources necessary to ensure success of these action steps.
