Request for Comments on Information Technology Modernization 
Initiative

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget

ACTION: Notice of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is seeking public 
comment on a draft memorandum titled, ``Information Technology 
Modernization Initiative.''

DATES: The 30-day public comment period on the draft memorandum begins 
on October 26, 2016 in the Federal

[[Page 74818]]

Register and will last for 30 days. The public comment period will end 
on November 25, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should provide comments at the following 
link: https://policy.cio.gov/it-modernization/. The Office of 
Management and Budget is located at 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 
20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sean Casey at [email protected] 
or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is 
proposing a new policy to modernize the Federal government's aging IT 
systems. This memorandum would require the CFO-Act agencies to identify 
systems as candidates for modernization and submit modernization 
proposals to OMB. Research and agency-submitted analysis indicates that 
aging legacy systems pose operations risks for the agencies and the 
government as a whole when these systems cannot adapt to current or 
expected mission requirements, user needs, or operating environments. 
This memorandum strives to assist agencies with the costs and risks of 
modernizing critical systems, and it seeks to promote cost reductions, 
risk reductions, and improved delivery of services to the American 
public through modernization of these systems. Authority for this 
notice is granted under the Clinger-Cohen Act, 40 U.S.C. Subtitle III.

Tony Scott,
U.S. Federal Chief Information Officer.
