<p align="center"><strong>Congress Passes S. 994<br>
|
||
The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014</strong></p>
|
||
<p>On April 28, 2014, the House passed <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-113s994enr/pdf/BILLS-113s994enr.pdf" target="_blank">S.994</a>, the <em>“Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014, or the DATA Act”</em> by voice vote. The bill passed the Senate on April 10, 2014 by unanimous consent. The bill changes how Federal spending data is reported, instructs OMB to simplify the reporting requirements that apply to contractors, and changes when agencies report debt for administrative offset. The bill now goes to the President for his signature. </p>
|
||
<p>Following are provisions of interest to SSA:</p>
|
||
<h4>Section 3 – Amendments to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006</h4>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Would require the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to publish additional data on Federal spending (at least quarterly) on <a href="http://usaspending.gov/">USAspending.gov</a> or a successor site. This would include:</li>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The amount of budget authority appropriated and obligated, unobligated balances, and any other budgetary resource for each appropriations account (both expired and unexpired); </li>
|
||
<li>The amount obligated and outlays by program activity and object class for each account; and,</li>
|
||
