Formally, it is stated in Article 22 that these monies are Уdue to be transferred to the corresponding budget of the budgetary system of the Russian FederationФ. However, actual practice has demonstrated that presently the revenues received by bodies of state authority (for example, from rendering nondepartmental security services, or issuing extracts from State record books, or conducting experts estimations, etc.) are by no means>

As far as the placement of the information concerning the activity of bodies of state authority on the Internet, the new Law has introduced some significant positive developments. In particular, the norms stipulated therein make it possible to systematize both the list and the structure of information to be posted to the official websites of the bodies of state authority and local administrations.

In accordance with Article 10 of the new Law, the corresponding bodies are now directly obliged to create and renew on a regular basis their own Internet resources. Those local administrations which have no potential for creating and maintaining their own informational resources on the Internet are allowed to have their own web pages on the official website of the corresponding Federations subject.

Besides, by Item 4 of Article 10 of this Law, the RF Government is now also empowered to develop single technical, software and linguistic standards42 for regulating the operation of their official websites. In the future this must provide an adequate basis for their technological compatibility, as well as the potential for integrating interdepartmental information resources.

The structure of an official website of a body of state authority or a body of local self-government is described in much detail in Article 13 of this Law. Its further specification on the basis of the specific features of each given body must be provided at the level of interdepartmental regulations.

The list of information suggested in the new Law makes it mandatory for state and municipal structures to provide relevant information on such УproblematicФ (from the point of view of УopennessФ) issues as the placement of state and municipal orders, the presence of vacant posts, as well as the spending of budget resources, including the issues relating to the participation of a given body in the implementation of targeted programs and the granting of exemptions and delayed payments to certain organizations and entrepreneurs. However, the Law contains no stipulations as to how detailed such information must be. Thus those bodies that do not wish to disclose the details of their budgets have opportunities for making do only with most general information.

On the basis of the information discussed above, it can be concluded that, in spite of the presence of some still unresolved issues, on the whole the adoption of the new Federal Law УOn Access to Information about the Activities of State Bodies and Local Self - Government BodiesФ will be conducive to making the operation of bodies of state authority and local self-government more transparent and to implementing into practice certain elements of Уelectronic governmentФ - the absence of which has been lamented by the RF President.

In accordance with Item 4 of Article 10 УThe requirements to the technological, software and linguistic means to be applied in providing the use of the official websites of the federal bodies of executive authority are to be established by the federal body of executive authority empowered by the Government of the Russian FederationФ.
