The Office of Management and Budget replaced a pair of e-government project managers leading cross-agency initiatives under the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

For the disaster management project, OMB tapped Mark Zimmerman, who is on detail from the Marine Corps. He replaced FEMA's Dennis Green. To supervise Project Safecom, the wireless public-safety effort, OMB selected Susan Moore. On loan from the Agriculture Department, Moore replaced Tom Ringer.

Mark Forman, OMB's associate director for e-government and IT, recently said he is not pleased with the progress of the two projects. Forman also said the Geospatial Information One Stop initiative is falling short of its objectives.
