A letter to the Office of Management and Budget says that today’s regulatory environment “hampers” states in their pursuit of cost savings and IT optimization.

In a desire to simplify IT consolidation efforts, state government associations are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to “harmonize” a disparate and sometimes conflicting collection of federal cybersecurity regulations.
In a letter from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) and the National Governors Association (NGA) sent Monday, the groups ask OMB to make its Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs available to adjust existing regulations, which they say “hamper” state government. The groups are asking for continuity and consistency in regulations and perhaps a directive from OMB that federal agencies must first to look at existing requirements before creating new ones.
