TABLE: Status of Agency Implementation

The OMB revisions to Circular A-110 which are designed to promote public access to federally funded data must be implemented by the federal agencies through issuance of their own conforming regulations. Since each agency faces unique circumstances based upon the realities of their various programs, these conforming regulations are highly important. Without careful implementation, even the most carefully crafted regulation by OMB will fail to accomplish the goals envisioned by Congress.

Therefore, CRE plans to review the progress of the federal agencies in implementing the Data Access provisions and, where possible, actively engage agency staff working on implementation. CRE will provide analytical support to agency staff to the extent possible.

The following table outlines progress of the federal Departments and major independent agencies in implementing the Data Access provisions contained in the FY 1999 Omnibus Appropriations Act.
