V..P.M.P. 101-40.13-I- One of the objectives of the Office of Management an Budcget (OMB) in establishing a standard Federal region policy is to improve management and economies of personnel which couil result in savings among Federal departments Findings/Conclusions: OMB has not stresseu management improvements among departments and agencies, and standardizing regional boundaries has been limited to a few agencies with little effect on management and use of personnel ani facilities. Action has not been taken on opportunities offere! by standardization for consolidating support service facilities and reducing personnel. The coordinating groups, Federal Executive Boards and Federal Regional Councils, have promoted some common service operations, but their proposal3 for management improvement must be approved by OMB and the affected agencies. The General Services Administration (GSA) has authority to develop and provide common services, but agencies seem reluctant to participate in programs in which they would relinquish some control. Neither OMB nor GSA has pressed agencies to develop common service programs. Recommendations: OMB, with participation of GSA should: (1) reevaluate emphasis on providinq oppcrtunities for management ir rovements anrl economies under the standard Federal region policy, giving adequate consideration to the President's plans -or reorganizing the executive branch; (2) formulate, initiate, and direct an aqgressive program to consolidate or centralize common administrative support and central supporting services where practicable, and obtain commi'ment of top-level officials to the programs; (3) encourage agencies to identify functions practicable for consolidation; and (4) reevaluate and redefine responsibilities of Federal Executive Boards and Federal Regional Councils.
