SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress directed the Office of Management
and Budget to prepare an annual Report to Congress on the Benefits and
Costs of Federal Regulations. Specifically, Section 624 of Title IV of
the FY 2001 Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, also
known as the ``Regulatory Right-to-Know Act'' (the Act), requires OMB
to submit a report on the benefits and costs of Federal regulations
together with recommendations for reform. The Act states that the
report should contain estimates of the costs and benefits of
regulations in the aggregate, by agency and agency program, and by
major rule, as well as an analysis of impacts of Federal regulation on
State, local, and tribal governments, small businesses, wages, and
economic growth. The Act also states that the report should be subject
to notice and comment and peer review. OIRA requests public comments on
the report in general, including its substance and format; how to
improve transparency and accountability with respect to the effects of
regulation; and the various recommendations for reform.
