Which of the following is a 1996 United States federal law, designed to improve the way the federal government acquires, uses, and disposes information technology? Response:

The Computer Misuse Act is a United Kingdom law enacted in 1990, not a 1996 U.S. federal law concerning IT acquisition.

The Lanham Act is a U.S. federal statute primarily dealing with trademarks, unfair competition, and false advertising, not federal IT acquisition.

The Clinger-Cohen Act (CCA) of 1996, also known as the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA), is a United States federal law that reformed the way the federal government acquires, uses, and disposes of information technology. It emphasizes accountability, strategic planning, and performance-based management of IT investments.

The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) is a U.S. federal law from 1980 (amended in 1995) aimed at minimizing federal paperwork burdens, not specifically focused on IT acquisition and management as broadly as the Clinger-Cohen Act.
