The Veterans Administration's Organizational Structure for Managing Computer Resources Complies With the Paperwork Reduction Act

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Veterans Administration's (VA) current organizational structure for managing computer resources to determine whether VA was complying with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Under the act, each federal agency must designate one senior official to manage the agency's computer resources, and there was concern that VA had designated two officials instead of one. Of particular concern was the fact that one official managed the VA nonmedical computer resources and the other managed the medical computer resources.
