Electronic-Government Program

Purpose

1. This Departmental Regulation (DR) establishes United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Electronic-Government (E-GOV) program policy.  USDA’s E-GOV Program promotes innovative uses of information technology (IT) using Presidential E-GOV initiatives and lines of business (LoB).

2. These initiatives (herein referred to as E-GOV initiatives) involve Mission Area, agency, and staff office collaboration through support of pilot projects and the use of innovative technologies in which USDA contributes a share of operational costs based on a combination of service usage metrics for inter/intra Agency collaboration.  The E-GOV Program fosters relationships with Federal Agency Lead (AL) and USDA E-GOV Program Officers.
