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.
Summary of Current Meeting Process. OIRA currently discloses 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 request a meeting about a regulatory action under OIRA
review to present views. 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 post 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 collects and discloses the following
information from outside parties that request a meeting with OIRA to
present their views on a regulatory action currently under review:
1. The name of the regulatory action under review on which the
party would like to present its views.
2. Names of all attendees who will be present at the meeting from
the outside party or parties, including each attendee's organization or
affiliation.
3. Electronic copies of all 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>.
Proposed Revisions. OMB is considering revisions to this
information collection with the goal of collecting additional
information from meeting requestors to facilitate further transparency,
as well as improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the meeting
request process. Such information may include further details about the
requestor's affiliation, stated purpose for the meeting, and whether
the requestor has already presented views to other Federal Government
entities on the regulatory action under review.
OIRA welcomes any and all public comments on the proposed revisions
to the 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 revising an existing information
collection requirement.
Type of review: Revision.
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 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,
[[Page 14652]]
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
respond to a collection of information, search data sources, and
complete and review the collection of information; to transmit or
otherwise disclose the information; and to train personnel to be able
to carry out the foregoing tasks.
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.
Richard L. Revesz,
Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
