Federal government transparency programs, including data resource directory Data.gov, face across-the-board budget cuts by 75% in the latest version of the federal budget to emerge from Congressional negotiations.  According to the Sunlight Foundation, an independent transparency watchdog organization,  the "electronic government fund" faces cuts from a $34 million budget down to $8 million.
