    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued a notice under the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) proposing the designation of certain databases to be included in the Treasury's Working System as part of the Do Not Pay (DNP) Initiative. These databases include the United States Postal Service’s Delivery Sequence File, the Census Bureau's American Communities Survey, and others. OMB is inviting public comments on this proposed designation and has provided a 30-day period for feedback, which ends on February 22, 2021. After reviewing the comments, if OMB decides to proceed, they will officially designate the databases in the Federal Register.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to check if certain lists (like mail lists and survey data) can help stop mistakes in paying people. They are asking everyone what they think about this idea before making a final choice.

    In January 2021, the President sent a special message to Congress, proposing the rescission of $27.4 billion in budget authority from various federal programs. The message highlights efforts to cut unnecessary or wasteful spending, particularly in areas like foreign aid, energy, and educational exchanges. The proposed cuts would impact numerous departments and agencies, including Agriculture, Energy, and State, as well as international aid programs. If enacted, these rescissions would aim to reduce the federal budget deficit and encourage alternative funding sources for affected programs.

    Simple Explanation

    The President wanted to save some money by stopping or reducing money for certain programs, like helping other countries or arts projects, because he thought they were not really needed or they did the same thing as other programs. Some people were worried about this plan because it didn't say exactly how the saved money would be used instead.
