Modernization Levers

Medium

Digital case/grant/service workflows, interoperable data, risk-based oversight, and shared services where the parent department can supply them without erasing mission expertise.

Administrative Burden Review

Medium

Identify who is forced to learn this bureau's rules: beneficiaries, applicants, regulated entities, grantees, state partners, researchers, or frontline staff. Reduce that burden through reusable evidence and clearer status information.

Duplication & Coordination Review

Medium

Coordinate with sibling bureaus before proposing consolidation. Some overlap is useful when it supplies checks, field presence, or resilience.

Risk & Guardrails

Medium

Do not cut mission-critical inspectors, adjudicators, scientists, field staff, or technical experts before the replacement process has proved it can preserve accuracy and rights.

Innovation Party Proposal

Research draft

Improve IRS through Legacy system replacement, prefilled/service-first tax tools, phone/digital service reliability, and risk-based enforcement with appeal rights.
