OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


Revision of OMB Circular No. A-130, ``Managing Information as a 
Strategic Resource''

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the 
President.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has revised Circular 
A-130, ``Managing Information as a Strategic Resource,'' to reflect 
changes in law and advances in technology. The revisions also ensure 
consistency with executive orders, presidential directives, recent OMB 
policy, and National Institute of Standards and Technology standards 
and guidelines.
    The Circular establishes general policy for information governance, 
acquisitions, records management, open data, workforce, security, and 
privacy. It also emphasizes the role of both privacy and security in 
the Federal information life cycle. Importantly, it represents a shift 
from viewing security and privacy requirements as compliance exercises 
to understanding security and privacy as crucial elements of a 
comprehensive, strategic, and continuous risk-based program at Federal 
agencies.
    When implemented by agencies, these revisions to the Circular will 
promote innovation, enable appropriate information sharing, and foster 
the wide-scale and rapid adoption of new technologies while 
strengthening protections for security and privacy.

DATES: Effective Upon Publication As of July 28, 2016 OMB is making 
revised Circular A-130 available to the public.
    Circular is available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars_default/.
    Rescission: This Circular rescinds OMB Memoranda M-10-28, 
``Clarifying Cybersecurity Responsibilities and Activities of the 
Executive Office of the President and the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS).''
