| Abstract: | The continuing transformation of our society by information technology presents many opportunities to improve government operations and services. Unfortunately, significant management improvements are required for Federal agencies to take advantage of those opportunities and to avoid wasting billions of taxpayer dollars. Enactment of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13) represents congressional endorsement of a revised approach to information resources management (IRM). The question is whether agencies will be able to discipline themselves to manage their information resources to improve program performance as required by the Act—and as increasingly demanded by Congress, the President, and the public. This article reviews the origins of IRM in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, the Act's implementation and its 1995 reauthorization of appropriations, and current challenges confronting IRM. |
