SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is

increase cloud adoption across the Federal portfolio. As part of the
President's Management Agenda, the U.S. Government has committed to
modernize legacy technology and leverage leading practices from
industry to improve citizen services, reduce operational costs, and
enhance the security of the Federal enterprise. The 2018 Federal Cloud
Computing Strategy, ``Cloud Smart,'' an update of the original Cloud
approach, addresses gaps in previous guidance, embraces new
capabilities, and provides an end-to-end strategy to accelerate
transformation. This new, transformative strategy focuses on three key
inter-related areas--security, procurement, and workforce--necessary to
drive cloud adoption through building knowledge in government and
removing burdensome policy barriers. This strategy will be available
for review and public comment at https://cloud.cio.gov/.

U.S. Federal Chief Information Officer.
