C.2.8 - General government
General Government involves the overhead costs of the Federal Government, including legislative and executive activities; provision of central fiscal, personnel, and property activities; and the provision of services that cannot reasonably be classified in any other service support area. As a normal rule, all activities reasonably or closely associated with other service support areas or information types shall be included in those service support areas or information types rather than listed as a part of general government. This service support area is reserved for central government management operations; most service delivery (mission-based) management activities would not be included here. Unlike the other service support functions, some general government information types are associated with specific organizations (e.g., Department of the Treasury, Executive Office of the President, Internal Revenue Service).
