By: FEDweek StaffThe House has joined the Senate in passing S-709, to update requirements for agency performance priorities under the Government Performance and Results Act, as recommended in a series of GAO reports.
Those are to include requiring OMB to regularly conduct strategic reviews of agencies’ performance goals and ensure they are following through with their strategic plans; enhancing the data on performance.gov to track agency-specific and government-wide performance; requiring two or more government officials be designated as federal government priority goal leaders; and ensuring agency performance goals are supported by evidence-building activities.
The House also has passed:
* HR-1695, to require agencies to assess their software licenses and inventories and develop a plan to consolidate them and to adopt enterprise-wide agreements, and to require OMB to report on opportunities to leverage government procurement policies and practices to increase interoperability of software entitlements.
* HR-9566, to require federal agencies to share custom-developed source code with each other, in a bid to prevent duplicative government contracts to build software. There would be exceptions for source code that is classified, developed primarily for use in a national security system, or developed by an element of the intelligence community; exceptions necessary to protect individual privacy also would be allowed.
