This section requires electronic data-exchange standards for programs under this part and part E.
(a) After consulting the OMB interagency work group and considering State* views, the Secretary* must by rule designate electronic data-exchange standards for information State agencies must exchange under Federal law and for required Federal reporting and exchange. (b) When practicable, standards must use a widely accepted nonproprietary searchable computer-readable format such as XML; interoperable intergovernmental standards such as NIEM; interoperable Federal contracting and assistance standards; applicable accounting principles; cost-effective methods that improve efficiency and effectiveness; and continual upgrades. (c) This does not require changing existing standards 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, by rule, designate data exchange standards to govern, under this part and part E—
necessary categories of information that State agencies operating programs under State plans approved under this part are required under applicable Federal law to electronically exchange with another State agency; and
Federal reporting and data exchange required under applicable Federal law.
The data exchange standards required by paragraph (1) shall, to the extent practicable—
incorporate a widely accepted, non-proprietary, 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 subsection 1 shall be construed to require a change to existing data exchange standards found to be effective and efficient.
