                Executive Order 14432 of September 29, 2026

                
Streamlining Access to Government Services 
                Through <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a>

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered:

                Section 1. Purpose. For generations, Americans seeking 
                essential services from the Federal Government have 
                been required to navigate a system organized around the 
                structure of Government rather than the needs of the 
                people. Americans must search across numerous executive 
                departments and agency (agency) websites, interpret 
                complicated Government terminology, frequently provide 
                the same information, and repeatedly prove their 
                identities to a Government that may already possess the 
                information necessary to serve them. The American 
                people deserve better.

                Advances in technology now make possible a 
                fundamentally different relationship between the people 
                and the Federal Government, defined by simplicity, 
                speed, accuracy, security, and respect for the 
                individual. The same spirit of American innovation that 
                can accelerate scientific discovery can also help 
                Americans complete essential interactions with the 
                Federal Government.

                This order therefore directs the establishment of 
                <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> as the unified digital front door to the 
                Federal Government for every individual in the United 
                States seeking Federal information or services. 
                <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> will not be merely another website, search 
                engine, or directory of Government links. It will be a 
                secure, intelligent, and service-oriented point of 
                entry through which an individual may sign in, 
                communicate in plain language, receive accurate 
                answers, and, where authorized and technically 
                available, complete Government transactions without 
                being required to navigate the websites of multiple 
                agencies. <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> will enable the Federal 
                Government to do its own paperwork so that the American 
                people may get on with their lives.

                Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States 
                to:

                     (a) provide every individual in the United States 
                seeking Federal information or services with a single, 
                secure, conversational point of entry through which the 
                citizen may discover, access, and, where authorized, 
                complete covered Federal transactions;
                     (b) establish common standards of quality, 
                simplicity, accessibility, interoperability, security, 
                reliability, and design across participating Federal 
                digital services and public-facing websites;
                     (c) preserve each agency's custody and control of 
                its records, systems, statutory responsibilities, and 
                adjudicatory authority and ensure that unifying access 
                to Federal services does not create a centralized 
                Federal system of records concerning the American 
                people;
                     (d) protect personal information through data 
                minimization, secure authentication, auditable 
                authorization, and disclosure practices consistent with 
                applicable law;
                     (e) ensure that super intelligence used in 
                connection with <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> is accurate, reliable, and 
                transparent; and
                     (f) preserve existing lawful methods by which 
                Americans may obtain Federal services, including in-
                person, telephone, mail, and agency-specific

[[Page 63122]]

                digital services, so that <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> provides a better 
                option but does not become the only option.

                Sec. 3. Definition. The term ``covered services'' means 
                public-facing Federal services that serve more than 
                100,000 users in a 12-month period and can be accessed 
                or applied for online. The term excludes tax filing 
                services provided by the Internal Revenue Service and 
                services provided by the Department of War and elements 
                of the Intelligence Community. The Director of the 
                Office of Management and Budget (OMB) may, by 
                memorandum, add or exclude ``covered services.''

                Sec. 4. Establishing <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a>. The Administrator of 
                General Services, in coordination with the 
                Administrator of the National Design Studio and the 
                Director of OMB, shall:

                    (a) establish and operate <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> as the single 
                point of entry for Americans to access covered services 
                online; and
                    (b) take such steps as are necessary to integrate 
                <a href="http://Login.gov">Login.gov</a> with <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a>, including using <a href="http://Login.gov">Login.gov</a> 
                as the authentication service for <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a>.

                Sec. 5. Implementing <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a>. (a) Within 90 days of 
                the date of this order, the Director of OMB shall issue 
                a memorandum to the heads of agencies on implementation 
                of this order.

                    (b) Heads of agencies shall:

(i) identify covered services in their respective agencies;

(ii) integrate the provisions of such services with <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> in a secure 
and privacy-preserving manner, including by making the public Application 
Programming Interfaces, dashboards, and digital forms that already support 
services accessible through the <a href="http://America.gov">America.gov</a> platform;

(iii) complete integration with <a href="http://Login.gov">Login.gov</a> consistent with the requirements 
of section 1523(b)(1)(D) of title 6, United States Code, and OMB Memorandum 
M-26-18; and

(iv) provide, on an ongoing basis, the Administrator of General Services 
and the Director of OMB with historical and current usage and performance 
data for covered services.

                Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.
                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                    (d) Nothing in this order shall be construed to 
                require the disclosure of information that is 
                prohibited by law, or to authorize any person other 
                than the originating agency to access records 
                maintained by that agency about an individual, except 
                as provided by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) 
                or other applicable law.

                    (e) The costs for publication of this order shall 
                be borne by the General Services Administration.
