Sec. 102-194.35  Should I create electronic Standard or Optional forms?

    Yes, you should create electronic Standard or Optional forms, 
especially when forms are used to collect information from the public. 
GSA will not approve a new or revision to a Standard or Optional form 
unless an electronic form is being made available. Only forms covered by 
Sec. 102-194.40 are exempt from this requirement. Furthermore, you 
should to the extent possible, use electronic form products and services 
that are based on open standards. However, the use of proprietary 
products is permitted, provided that the end user is not required to 
purchase a specific product or subscription to use the electronic 
Standard or Optional form.
