AGENCIES BEHIND IN PLANNING TO RENEW TELECOM CONTRACTS, GAO SAYS

摘要

Some U.S. agencies aren't identifying necessary resources for renewing telecom contracts, GAO said. While most agencies reviewed -- Dept. of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, FBI and GSA -- had plans for 搒ound transition practices?as they move to new telecom contract vehicles, neither DoJ nor the Dept. of Energy plan to identify necessary resources, GAO said. In a June 6 letter to House Govt. Reform Committee Chmn. Tom Davis (R-Va.), GAO said enough time remains for all agencies to address issues raised by the 2001 telecom transition, but time is short for making inventories and strategic analyses. The Federal Technology Service has 揳n important program-level responsibility to plan and coordinate the transition,?GAO said.
