Interagency Group on Insular Areas (IGIA)

Through Executive Order 13299, the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary’s designee convenes the IGIA, presides at its meetings and directs its work in providing advice on the establishment or implementation of policies concerning American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
