Federal Manager's Daily Report

Federal workers submitted 19,559 ideas for improvements in government efficiency during the recently concluded SAVE award contest, OMB has announced. That’s about 1,000 more than last year.

OMB will generate a list of finalists for the third SAVE award and will post the suggestions for public voting.

The "Securing Americans’ Value and Efficiency" award is an administration initiative that solicits cost-cutting ideas from the federal workforce. The winning submission for 2010 was to end the wasteful delivery of the Federal Register throughout the government.
