Activity Timeframe

Congress should remove addresses and address point locations from Federal privacy restrictions in all relevant Titles (e.g. Title 13 and Title 39).

Congress and or OMB should instruct Federal agencies to jointly develop a common address point file in cooperation with state and local governments.

If a national address point file can be publicly shareable, the U.S. Census Bureau should become the data steward addresses. If existing privacy constraints cannot be addressed, another Federal agency without such constraints should become the custodian of address points.

NSGIC recommendations:

Activity Timeframe

States must coordinate the development of address point files working with local governments. In anticipation of the 2020 decennial Census, and to support the American Community Survey, the U.S. Census Bureau should contract with willing States to coordinate state and local government address data activity and to provide pass-through funding to maintain local address point files.

NGAC should advise on the degree that Addresses, Parcels, and street centerline development needs to be coordinated/integrated. (not from NSGIC)
