Biometrics.gov provides basic information and links to specific biometric activities in the Federal government. The site includes four main "rooms": Biometrics Reference (provides general information about biometric technologies, government programs and privacy planning); Presidential Directives that touch on biometrics or federal biometric activities; and the NSTC Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management Room. With biometrics becoming increasingly important, having a centralized collection of materials, mainly governmental, can be very useful, especially for policies and grants.
