The Modernizing Government Technology Act is set to hit the House floor on May 17, but the Office of Management and Budget is already thinking about who is going to get the $500 million in upgrade funding the bill authorizes.
The bill sets up a $500 million central fund at the General Services Administration. Agencies apply to a “business board” run by the Office of Management and Budget that will review their pitches to receive funding.
Acting Federal CIO Margie Graves is setting up the OMB review process, according to Rich Beutel, principal of Cyrrus Analytics.
