OMB issues guiding principles on electronic government





	Agencies will offer all government services electronically within 31/2 years, or they will have to answer to the Office of Management and Budget. That is the gist of a draft OMB regulation issued this month to help agencies implement the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, which was included as part of the fiscal 1999 omnibus appropriations bill [GCN, Oct. 26, 1998, Page 1]. Agencies must implement GPEA by October 2003. The administration’s policy pronouncements dovetail with General Services Administration efforts to create a governmentwide digital certificate service through the Access Certificates for Electronic Services program (see story, Page 6).
