Data Quality Plan For Federal Spending
The OGD, issued on Dec. 8, 2009, instructed each agency to create a data quality plan that enhances the transparency of how the agency spends federal funds. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Deputy Director Jeff Zients issued a memorandum on Feb. 8 outlining a timeline for public release of the plans, as well as what information should be contained in the plans. The memo requires agencies to be accountable for the quality of federal spending information that is publicly disseminated through venues such as USAspending.gov and similar websites. The memo prescribed a data quality framework for the agency plans, requiring them to define measures for assessing the quality of data and its collection.
