The Secretary must designate electronic data-exchange standards for required State-agency exchanges and Federal reporting. The standards should be open, interoperable, efficient, accounting-consistent, and upgradeable.
(a) In consultation with an interagency work group established by OMB and considering State* views, the Secretary* must designate standards governing: (1) information categories that related State agencies must electronically exchange under law; and (2) legally required Federal reporting and data exchange.
(b) To the maximum practical extent, the standards must: (1) use a widely accepted, nonproprietary, searchable, computer-readable format such as XML; (2) contain interoperable standards maintained by intergovernmental partnerships such as the National Information Exchange Model; (3) contain interoperable standards maintained by Federal entities with authority over contracting and financial assistance; (4) be consistent with and implement applicable accounting principles; (5) be cost-effective and improve program efficiency and effectiveness; and (6) be continually upgradeable.
(c) This section does not require changing existing Federal-reporting exchange standards that have been found effective and efficient.
The Secretary* shall, in consultation with an interagency work group established by the Office of Management and Budget, and considering State* government perspectives, designate data exchange standards to govern, under this chapter—
necessary categories of information that State agencies operating related programs are required under applicable law to electronically exchange with another State agency; and
Federal reporting and data exchange required under applicable law.
The data exchange standards required by subsection (a) shall, to the maximum extent practicable—
incorporate a widely accepted, nonproprietary, searchable, computer-readable format, such as the eXtensible Markup Language;
contain interoperable standards developed and maintained by intergovernmental partnerships, such as the National Information Exchange Model;
incorporate interoperable standards developed and maintained by Federal entities with authority over contracting and financial assistance;
be consistent with and implement applicable accounting principles;
be implemented in a manner that is cost-effective and improves program efficiency and effectiveness; and
be capable of being continually upgraded as necessary.
Nothing in this section requires a change to existing data exchange standards for Federal reporting found to be effective and efficient.
