formation to produce analytical products. 
(2) Open source products can be shared with 
Federal, State, local, and tribal law enforcement, the 
American public, the private sector, and foreign al-
lies because of their unclassified nature. 
(3) The Department of Homeland Security is 
responsible for providing open source products to 
consumers consistent with existing Federal open 
source information guidelines.

Management and Budget and the Comptroller 
General on the implementation of recommenda-
tions made to the head of the executive agency

‘‘(5) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection: 
‘‘(A) The term ‘executive agency’ means an 
agency as that term is defined in section 5701 
of title 5, United States Code, except that it is 
in the executive branch. 
‘‘(B) The term ‘travel charge card’ means 
the Federal contractor-issued travel charge card 
that is individually billed to each cardholder.’’. 
SEC. 4. MANAGEMENT OF CENTRALLY BILLED ACCOUNTS. 
The head of an executive agency that has employees 
who use a centrally billed account shall establish and 
maintain safeguards and internal controls to ensure the 
following:

voucher are compared with items paid for using a 
centrally billed account to ensure that an employee 
is not reimbursed for an item already paid for 
through a centrally billed account.
