It's from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) [0]. The audience for OSTP is cross-Federal, and the contributing agency scope for this site is wide. The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) [1] used to do this kind of technology policy work too. OTA served US Congress, is no more, and may or may not be worthing bringing back [2].
Personally, I like seeing deep (no pun intended) technology expertise at work in US government. The Michael Lewis book "The Fifth Risk" was hagiographic that way.
