Congress passed the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) to establish a single, overarching policy framework for the management of government information resources. The act established information resources management (IRM) as an approach governing the collection, dissemination, security, privacy, and management of information. The act also created the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to provide leadership, policy direction, and oversight of governmentwide IRM. It further required OIRA to develop and maintain a governmentwide strategic IRM plan and charged that office with responsibilities for general IRM policy and information technology. Although OIRA designated the Chief Information Officers Council's strategic plan for fiscal years 2001-2002 as the governmentwide strategic IRM plan required by the PRA, this does not constitute an effective and comprehensive strategic vision. OIRA has issued policy and implementing guidance, conducted oversight activities, and taken various steps in each of the functional areas. GAO found that the documents cited by OMB during it's review did not, separately or collectively, meet the requirements for a governmentwide strategic IRM plan established by PRA. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-292/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-292.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-292/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-292.pdf GAO-02-292 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-292 Other Written Product GAO-02-292; Information Resources Management: Comprehensive Strategic Plan Needed to Address Mounting Challenges; Government information Information resources management Information technology Strategic planning Performance and Accountability Series 2001 Title 44 Section 3509 44 U.S.C. 3509 Title 5 Part 1320 5 CFR Part 1320
