I haven't come across anything besides circular A-130 -- and that's so nebulous that it gives agency CIOs so much wiggle room that I think they don't even think about open standards. Everyone in the dept using MS word? then that's the defacto standard regardless of whether or not MS word is an open file format. Interestingly, I blogged about this issue a few weeks ago in regards to a <a href="http://freegovinfo.info/node/1568" rel="nofollow">public call for comment on official document standards for NY State agencies</a>. You might also contact the <a href="http://www.odfalliance.org/" rel="nofollow">Open Document Dormat Alliance</a>; they might have more information on federal agencies and open document formats.
