What is GSAs role in governing the federal-wide Standard and Optional Forms program?
GSA’s role was assigned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is contained in 41 CFR 102-194, Standard and Operational forms Management Program. The program was established to achieve government-wide economies and efficiencies through the development, maintenance, and common use of conventional forms. Furthermore, the program achieves federal goals to replace paper forms with electronic versions to enable electronic completion and transmittal of form data and to reduce the information collection burden to the public to the maximum extend possible.
