The Plain Language Action & Information Network is a government-wide group of volunteers working to improve communications from the federal government to the public. They believe better communication will increase trust in government, reduce government costs, and reduce the burden on the public. People should be able to understand what they write the first time they read it, especially materials that tell people how to obtain benefits or comply with requirements. This Web site contains lots of resources to help writers achieve the goal of clear communication. Take a look at their major guidance document: Writing User-Friendly Documents.
