Draft Memorandum for Public Comment

OMB has posted a draft memorandum for public feedback. You may provide feedback in three ways:

1. Content suggestions and discussions are welcome via GitHub “issues.” Each issue is a conversation initiated by a member of the public. We encourage you to browse and join in on discussions in existing issues, or start a new conversation by opening a new issue.

2. Direct changes and line edits to the content may be submitted through a "pull request" by clicking "Edit this page" on any site page in the repository. You do not need to install any software to suggest a change. You can use GitHub's in-browser editor to edit files and submit a pull request for your changes to be merged into the document. Directions on how to submit a pull request can be found on GitHub. Open pull requests for the proposed guidance can be found in the site repository on GitHub.

3. Send your content suggestions or proposed revisions to the OMB Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer via email to ofcio@omb.eop.gov. Please note that all comments received will be posted publicly on this page.
