Overview[]
This Department Regulation (DR) establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for the governance of digital services within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is a digital strategy that is information and customer-centric, leverages existing resources to the greatest extent possible, and ensures that digital content incorporates adequate privacy and security controls.
This policy establishes the framework to provide the public, entrepreneurs, and agricultural programs with the ability to better leverage valuable USDA data to further advance innovative applications and beneficial services. It focuses on innovating with less to deliver better digital services, and specifically promotes an overall approach to increase returns on Information Technology (IT) investments, reduce waste and duplication, and improve the effectiveness of IT solutions through the use of shared services.
