That was created by Obama to make Federal websites easier to navigate. Specifically the ACA website which was a mess at the beginning. It’s part of OMB so it’s in the Executive Branch.

In January 2025, according to Executive Order 14158, it was publicly renamed and reorganized as the United States DOGE Service,[1] which includes the self-styled Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, the USDS still exists.
