Fixing Washington: Big stuff happening right now

Open Government Day is
here, and most of the hype/anticipation seems to surround today’s
deadline for agencies to submit their OpenGov plans as outlined in the
Open Government Directive.

But there’s another part of the OGD that may get initially
overlooked today that agencies should be excited about: new guidance
from the Office of Management and Budget. As outlined in the OGD,
agencies now have some clarity on how OpenGov efforts mesh with
existing policies like the Paperwork Reduction Act, as well as guidance
on how to help make government rulemaking information released online
easier to find and track.
