Section 11 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 ( 7 U.S.C. 2020 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary, in consultation with an interagency work group which shall be established by the Office of Management and Budget, and considering State perspectives, shall, by rule, designate a data exchange standard for any category of information required to be reported under this Act. The data exchange standard designated under subparagraph
(A)shall, to the extent practicable, be nonproprietary and interoperable. In designating data exchange standards under this subsection, the Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate— interoperable standards developed and maintained by an international voluntary consensus standards body, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget, such as the International Organization for Standardization; interoperable standards developed and maintained by intergovernmental partnerships, such as the National Information Exchange Model; and interoperable standards developed and maintained by Federal entities with authority over contracting and financial assistance, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council. The Secretary, in consultation with an interagency work group established by the Office of Management and Budget, and considering State perspectives, shall, by rule, designate data exchange standards to govern the data reporting required under this part. The data exchange standards required by subparagraph
(A)shall, to the extent practicable— incorporate a widely-accepted, nonproprietary, searchable, computer-readable format; be consistent with and implement applicable accounting principles; and be capable of being continually upgraded as necessary. In designating reporting standards under this subsection, the Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate existing nonproprietary standards, such as the eXtensible Markup Language. . The Secretary of Agriculture shall issue a proposed rule under section 11(v)(1) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 within 12 months after the effective date of this section, and shall issue a final rule under such section after public comment, within 24 months after such effective date. The reporting standards required under section 11(v)(2) of such Act shall become effective with respect to reports required in the first reporting period, after the effective date of the final rule referred to in paragraph
(1)of this subsection, for which the authority for data collection and reporting is established or renewed under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
