Collaboration, OMB Memorandum M-10-06, Open Government Directive, and
OMB Memorandum M-16-16, 2016 Agency Open Government Plans, the
Department continues to develop, publish, and update its Open

continuously strives to improve transparency and integrate public
participation and collaboration into its activities. In September 2022,
the Department published the seventh version of its Open Government

approaches to data dissemination and highlighting the adoption of new
tools and technology to facilitate the principles of open government.
Now, as the Department develops the eighth version of its Open

Open Government Plan, including how to improve the organization, scope,
form and format of the plan; enhance readability; and reach a broader
audience. We also welcome public input on how best to convey how the
Department will incorporate the following themes from the fifth U.S.
Open Government National Action Plan, issued on December 28, 2022:
<bullet> improving access to government data, research, and
information;
<bullet> increasing civic space within which to engage with the
public;
<bullet> transforming government service delivery;
<bullet> countering corruption and ensuring government integrity
and accountability to the public; and
<bullet> ensuring equal justice under the law.
Please note: The focus of this request for information is the
presentation of the Department's Open Government Plan document.
Comments or suggestions for improvements to the Department's programs
or activities in furtherance of open government will not be considered
in connection with this request for information.
