Establishing and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency"
AI Summary:
This regulation establishes the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) through an Executive Order. The order renames the United States Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service (USDS), which will be located in the Executive Office of the President. A temporary organization within USDS will be created, led by a USDS Administrator, with a specific 18-month agenda that will terminate on July 4, 2026. Each federal agency will be required to create a DOGE Team of at least four employees, typically including a team lead, an engineer, a human resources specialist, and an attorney. The primary focus of the DOGE Service is to modernize federal technology and software systems, improve inter-agency network operability, ensure data integrity, and facilitate responsible data collection. Agency heads must provide USDS full access to unclassified agency records and systems, while adhering to data protection standards. The order emphasizes that it does not create enforceable legal rights and will be implemented consistent with existing laws and available appropriations.
