Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos

AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order. This regulation aims to eliminate information barriers between federal agencies by mandating comprehensive data sharing practices. It requires agency heads to provide full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, data, systems, and information technology for identifying and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. Within 30 days, agency heads must rescind guidance that prevents inter- or intra-agency information sharing, review data access regulations, and submit reports to the Office of Management and Budget. The order specifically requires immediate access to comprehensive data from state programs receiving federal funding, with a particular emphasis on unemployment data. Agency heads must also review classified information policies to determine if they unnecessarily restrict information sharing beyond national security needs. The order emphasizes that these actions must be consistent with applicable law and existing appropriations, and does not create new legal rights or benefits.
