SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CDO Council Background

    The Federal Chief Data Officers (CDO) Council was established by 
the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Pub. L. 115-435), 
which also requires all Federal agencies to appoint a CDO. The 
Council's vision is to improve Government mission achievement and 
increase the benefits to the Nation through improvement in the 
management, use, protection, dissemination, and generation of data in 
government decision-making and operations. The CDO Council has more 
than 90 member CDOs from across the Federal Government, as well as 
representatives from the Office of Management and Budget, and other key 
councils and committees. The CDO Council has working groups that focus 
on critical topics as well as committees that help Federal agencies 
connect and collaborate. The CDO Council also works with other 
interagency executive councils on data related topics and activities. 
The CDO Council engages with the public and private users of Government 
data to improve data practices and access to data assets.
    The CDO Council public meeting is for Federal employees as well as 
any members of the public, including industry, civil society, academia, 
and any users of Federal Government data. As a result of this meeting, 
the public will learn about the CDO Council efforts to expand the 
strategic use of data by Federal agencies, how the Federal Government 
is working to improve access to data assets, and how cross-agency 
councils are collaborating on data challenges. The public will also
