This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

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.
