management of #Section508. #OMB’s current strategic plan was released in 2013 and
should be reviewed using current information and compliance data.

2. The General Services Administration should publish data on #Section508 compliance.
#GSA gathers and analyzes data on Section 508 compliance twice a year but does not
release it to the public or Congress. Releasing these data publicly will improve #transparency and accountability regarding Section 508 compliance

The Department of Justice should resume reporting on federal compliance with
Section 508 requirements. Section 508 requires DOJ to report on the federal #government’s
compliance with #Section508 every two years. However, DOJ has not issued a report since
2012. In response to bipartisan Aging Committee oversight, #DOJ recently committed to
issuing its first report in a decade.
