SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Information on Meetings with Outside Parties Pursuant to
Executive Order 12866.
Abstract: Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and
Review,'' issued by President Clinton on September 30, 1993,
establishes and governs the process under which OIRA reviews agency
draft proposed and final regulatory actions. The Executive Order also
establishes a disclosure process regarding the OIRA Administrator's (or
his/her designee's) meetings with outside parties during formal review
of a regulatory action if such meetings occur. In such instances, OIRA
would disclose the subject, date, and participants of the meeting on
the <a href="http://Reginfo.gov">Reginfo.gov</a> website, as well as any materials provided to OIRA at
such meetings.
These meetings occur at the initiative and request of outside
parties who seek to present views about a regulatory action under OIRA
review. Members of the public who request meetings may invite other
outside parties to attend, and OIRA invites representatives from the
agency or agencies that would issue the regulatory action. If such
meetings occur, OIRA does not take minutes during the meeting but
would, however, posts on RegInfo.gov any written materials provided by
outside parties during these meetings, including the initial meeting
request.
To help ensure transparency associated with meetings pursuant to
Executive Order 12866, OIRA would collect--and then post publicly--the
following information from outside parties that request a meeting with
OIRA to present their views on a regulatory action currently under
review:
1. Names of all attendees who will be present at the meeting from
the outside party or parties. Each attendee's organization or
affiliation. If an attendee is representing another organization, the
name of the organization the attendee is representing.
2. The name of the regulatory action under review on which the
party would like to present its views.
3. Electronic copies of all of briefing materials that will be used
during the presentation.
4. An acknowledgment by the requesting party that all information
submitted to OIRA pursuant to this collection and meeting request will
be made publicly available at <a href="http://Reginfo.gov">Reginfo.gov</a>.
OIRA welcomes any and all public comments on the proposed
collection of information such as the accuracy of OIRA's burden
estimate, the practical utility of collecting this information, and
whether there are additional pieces of information that could be
collected from meeting requestors to further the disclosure provisions
of Executive Order 12866.
Current actions: Proposal for extending an existing information
collection requirement.
Type of review: Extension.
Affected public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Governments.
Expected average annual number of respondents: 300.
Average annual number of responses per respondent: 2.
Total number of responses annually: 600.
Burden per response: 15 minutes.
Total average annual burden: 150 hours.
Request for comments: OMB anticipates that comments submitted in
response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates
of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and
purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total
time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a
collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Dominic J. Mancini,
Deputy Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
