Overview
Although customer expectations and partner demands serve as the main drivers for implementing eGovernment, legislative requirements also play a significant role. As a result, the eGovernment Program is also responsible for coordinating USDA’s efforts to comply with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act’s (GPEA’s) mandate to provide electronic options for paper-based transactions. To maximize effectiveness of the solutions, we facilitate, develop and lead GPEA efforts in the context of other legislation (e.g., the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Clinger-Cohen Act, the Government Performance and Results Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, and Freedom to E-FILE Act), Departmental business goals and priorities, and the President’s Management Agenda. GPEA compliance is an integral part of our overall eGovernment approach and strategy.
