Overview[]
This memorandum adopts a consensus policy governing the acquisition of telecommunications services by Federal agencies to serve their locations throughout the nation. This policy was developed by an interagency group of telecommunications managers (the General Services Administration-sponsored Interagency Management Council) and approved by the Chief Information Officers Council on February 19, 1997. OMB is adopting this policy pursuant to the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996. The policy is effective immediately and will be reviewed in two years.
