    Description: The President's Management Agenda for E-Government 
(February 27, 2002) sets forth a strategy for simplifying the delivery 
of services to citizens. The President's agenda outlines a Federal E-
Government Enterprise Architecture that will transition the management 
and delivery of government services from a bureaucracy-centered to a 
citizen-centered paradigm. To this end, the Department of Labor serves 
as the managing partner of the Administration's ``GovBenefits'' 
(formerly ``Eligibility Assistance Online'') strategy for assisting 
citizens in identifying and locating information on benefits sponsored 
by the Federal government. This tool will greatly reduce the burden on 
citizens attempting to locate services available from many different 
government agencies by providing one-stop access to information on 
obtaining those services.
    From time to time, the precise questions or content may require 
modification to accommodate additions to the GovBenefits portal as well 
as new or revised services.
    Respondents answer a series of questions to the extent necessary 
for locating relevant information on Federal benefits.
    Responses are used by the respondent to expedite the identification 
and retrieval of sought after information and resources pertaining to 
benefits sponsored by the Federal government.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
