GPEA Planning Guide and Model Report
A group of agencies released a model guide on Friday designed to help agencies
develop electronic government plans under the Government Paperwork Elimination
Act.
Under GPEA, agencies must enable citizens to interact with the government
electronically whenever possible. Agencies must comply by October 2003,
but there is a more immediate deadline: Implementation plans are due at
the Office of Management and Budget by Oct. 31.
The Social Security Administration, the General Services Administration
and the federal CIO Council's E-government Committee developed the planning
guide and model report under the direction of OMB to help agencies respond
to next month's deadline.
The {http://www.cio.gov/egov/projects/gpea/model_plan.doc}guide helps
agencies prepare their plans by providing "examples and practical considerations
for agencies in complying with OMB's GPEA guidance and planning instructions."
The guide outlines steps agencies should take in preparing their GPEA
plans, such as identifying candidates for electronic reporting and transactions,
and provides examples, mostly from SSA.
