Summary:

Electronic data exchanges are used extensively to transfer information between computer systems. Consequently, as computer systems are converted to process Year 2000 dates, the associated data exchanges must also be made Year 2000 compliant. This report identifies (1) the key actions taken so far to address electronic data exchanges among federal, state, and local governments; (2) the steps taken by the federal government to minimize the adverse economic impact of noncompliant Year 2000 data from other countries' information systems corrupting critical functions of the United States; and (3) international forums where the worldwide economic implications of this issue have been or could be addressed.
