In February 2013 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a call to federal agencies with budgets in excess of $100 million to provide plans for public access to research results from projects funded by them. By fall 2015, most, if not all, federal agencies falling under this requirement had issued their public access plans.
