ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT: Selected Agency Plans for Implementing the Government Paperwork Elimination Act

摘要

I appreciate the opportunity to be here today to participate in the Committee's hearing on implementation of the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA).1 The act requires that by 2003 federal agencies provide the public, when practicable, the option of submitting, maintaining, and disclosing required information such as employment records, tax forms, and loan applications electronically, instead of on paper. In October 2000, federal agencies submitted GPEA implementation plans to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is responsible for executive branch oversight of GPEA.
