Abstract: USA Spending is a public friendly website that provides the public a place “Where Americans Can See Where Their Money Goes.” The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act) required a single searchable website, accessible by the public with free access that includes information about each Federal award. OMB guidance for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires federal agencies to distinguish award obligations submitted to USASpending.gov that utilize Recovery Act funds from those that utilize other types of funding. Starting April 1, 2009, the public was able through USASpending.gov to track Recovery Act assistance and contract transactions separately on USASpending.gov. On June 30, 2009, the IT Dashboard of USASpending.gov was launched. Through the IT Dashboard, Federal agencies and the public has the ability to view details of Federal information technology investments online and to track their progress over time. The IT Dashboard displays data received from agency Exhibit 53 and 300 submissions, including general information in over 7,000 Federal IT investments, and detailed data for nearly 800 of those investments agencies classify as "major." Agency CIOs will be responsible for evaluating and updating select data on a regular basis, which will be accomplished through interfaces provided on the website. This information collection request is being submitted in order to fulfill the public engagement and feedback aspects of this important initiative. The end users will be provided opportunities to provide information feedback and ratings in the spirit of the President’s open government and transparency agenda. This information collection request will enable these capabilities to be included on USA Spending in the addition of the IT Dashboard.
