SUMMARY:

I. Background
The Department of Commerce
(Department) collects, compiles,
analyzes, and disseminates a treasure
trove of data, including data on the
Nation’s economy, population, and
environment. This data is fundamental
to the Department’s mission and is used
for the protection of life and property,
for scientific purposes, and to enhance
economic growth. However, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Department’s capacity to disseminate
the increasing amount of data held and
to disseminate it in formats most useful
to its customers is significantly
constrained.
In order to realize the potential value
of the data the Department collects,
stores, and disseminates, the
Department must minimize barriers to
accessing and using the data. Consistent
with privacy and security
considerations, the Department is firmly
committed to unleashing its untapped
data resources in ways that best support
downstream information access,
processing, analysis, and dissemination.
The Commerce Data Advisory Council
(CDAC) provides advice and
recommendations, to include process
and infrastructure improvements, to the
Secretary on ways to make Commerce
data easier to find, access, use, combine
and disseminate. The aim of this advice
shall be to maximize the value of
Commerce data to all users including
governments, businesses, communities,
academia, and individuals.
The Secretary will draw CDAC
membership from the data industry
academia, non-profits and state and
local governments with a focus on
recognized expertise in collection,
compilation, analysis, and
dissemination. As privacy concerns
span the entire data lifecycle, expertise
in privacy protection also will be
represented on the Council. The
Secretary will select members that
represent the entire spectrum of
Commerce data including demographic,
economic, scientific, environmental,
patent, and geospatial data. The
Secretary will select members from the
information technology, business, nonprofit, and academic communities, and
state and local governments.
Collectively, their knowledge will
include all types of data Commerce
distributes and the full lifecycle of data
collection, compilation, analysis, and
dissemination.
II. Description of Duties
The Council shall advise the Secretary
on ways to make Commerce data easier
to find, access, use, combine, and
disseminate. Such advice may include
recommended process and
infrastructure improvements. The aim of
this advice shall be to maximize the
value of Commerce data to governments,
businesses, communities, and
individuals.
In carrying out its duties, the Council
may consider the following:
—Data management practices that make
it easier to track and disseminate
integrated, interoperable data for
diverse users;

—Best practices that can be deployed
across Commerce to achieve common,
open standards related to taxonomy,
vocabulary, application programming
interfaces (APIs), metadata, and other
key data characteristics;
—Policy issues that arise from
expanding access to data, including
issues related to privacy,
confidentiality, latency, and
consistency;
—Opportunities and risks related to the
combination of public and private
data sources and the development of
joint data products and services
resulting from public-private
partnerships;
—External uses of Commerce data and
similar federal, state, and private data
sets by businesses; and,
—Methods to enhance communication
and collaboration between
stakeholders and subject-matter
experts at Commerce on data access
and use.
The Council meets up to four times a
year, budget permitting. Special
meetings may be called when
appropriate.
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees, is the governing
instrument for the CDAC.
III. Membership
1. The Council shall consist of up to
20 members.
2. The Secretary shall select and
appoint members and members shall
serve at the pleasure of the Secretary.
3. Members shall represent a crosssection of business, academic, nonprofit, and non-governmental
organizations.
4. The Secretary will choose members
of the Council who ensure objectivity
and balance, a diversity of perspectives,
and guard against potential for conflicts
of interest.
5. Members shall be prominent
experts in their fields, recognized for
their professional and other relevant
achievements and their objectivity.
6. In order to ensure the continuity of
the Commerce Data Advisory Council,
the Council shall be appointed so that
each year the terms expire of
approximately one-third of the members
of the Council.
7. Council members serve for terms of
two years and may be reappointed to
any number of additional terms. Initial
appointments may be for 12-, 18-and 24month increments to provide staggered
