Abstract: In the course of the reform of public and municipal administration bodies of power were to make lists of public services which were to become the basis for the formation of governmental guidelines and a normative of costs. The article studied some departmental lists of public services placed on the internet by the Federal bodies of executive power. The authors were only able to analyze data on 38 departments out of 57 Federal bodies of executive power. They found that the number of public services and work declared on the departmental lists varies from a few units to over 100. One of the sources of such diversity was the desire to work with minimum losses on clarifying the charters of institutions when they change their status from a state institution to a budget, autonomous or bureaucratic one. Just not to change the charters, the bodies of power transferred their formulations onto departmental lists without detecting non-executable or improperly worded services.Suggestions and recommendations: the RF government should organize more energetic and hard work, aimed at revising the normative-legal regulation formed by departments in developing Act № 83-Ф3, and at assessing its practical results. It also concerns the departmental lists. A methodological unity of work and services structure will make it possible to form a reference book similar to the one related to services for citizens, to make comparisons and take measures on the optimal costing.
