    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 
EGovernment 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'' 
strategy for assisting citizens in identifying and locating information 
on benefits sponsored by the Federal government and State governments. 
This tool greatly reduces 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.
    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 the benefits 
sponsored by the Federal Government.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
