Number: RL33417 Title: Federal Enterprise Architecture and E-Government: Issues for Information Technology Management Authors: Jeffrey W. Seifert, Resources, Science, and Industry Division Abstract: Some of the congressional oversight issues related to the FEA include, but are not limited to, ongoing updates of the reference models, the status of efforts to align the EAs of individual departments with the FEA, the role of the FEA in developing a second generation of e-government initiatives, and progress and implications of consolidating specific business functions across the federal government. In anticipation of an upcoming presidential administration transition, Congress may also wish to consider the broader issues of the continuity and future direction of FEA efforts.
