The task: to develop a proposal of optimization for 15 regional and municipal public services, and agreed on it with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.

The order of regional and municipal public services can be established by each region or municipality in the Russian Federation. Regional government doesn't answer to the federal government, and this is because the federal government can't establish a uniform procedure for granting this service.
