The National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is a U.S. Government organization established by Presidential directive to advise and coordinate federal departments and agencies on matters concerning the Global Positioning System (GPS) and related systems.
The National Executive Committee is chaired jointly by the Deputy Secretaries of Defense and Transportation. Its membership includes equivalent-level officials from the Departments of State, the Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, and Homeland Security, as well as the Joint Chiefs of Staff and NASA. Components of the Executive Office of the President participate as observers to the National Executive Committee, and the FCC Chairman participates as a liaison.
A National Coordination Office located in Washington, D.C., provides day-to-day staff support to the National Executive Committee. It consists of an interagency staff headed by Director Anthony Russo. The National Coordination Office is a point of contact for inquiries regarding PNT policy.
An Advisory Board provides independent advice to the National Executive Committee through its sponsor agency, NASA.
Several working groups support the National Executive Committee through staff-level, interagency collaboration on specific topics.
The National Executive Committee for Space-Based PNT replaced the Interagency GPS Executive Board (IGEB), which oversaw GPS policy matters from 1996 to 2004.
This website is maintained by the National Coordination Office and hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Privacy policy.
