OMB Mandates Uniform Requirements for Agency Public Websites

by on

According to this December 17, 2004 OMB Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites, “The efficient, effective, and appropriately consistent use of Federal agency public websites is important to promote a more citizen centered government.” This memo includes a series of requirements which must be met by December 31, 2005, including the following:

  • “You must now ensure your agency’s principal public website and any major entry point include a search function. However, agencies may determine in limited circumstances (e.g., for small websites) site maps or subject indexes are more effective than a typical search function.”
    • LinkedIn
