Agencies, Want a New Website? Talk to GSA

Nearly four years after the Obama Administration began an effort to ax extraneous federal websites, the White House budget office is asking the General Services Administration to take over cracking the whip.

GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy is being given the power to set targets for consolidating agency domains and websites, according to a new memo from Lisa Schlosser, the acting Federal Chief Information Officer. The Office of Management and Budget is also delegating to GSA the authority to approve or deny agencies’ requests to establish new domains.
