Executive Order 12866 directs agencies
to follow certain principles in rulemaking,
such as consideration of alternatives and
analysis of benefits and costs, and
describes OIRA’s role in the rulemaking
process.
The Unified Agenda and Regulatory Plan
provide uniform reporting of data on
regulatory and deregulatory actions under
development throughout the Federal
government, covering over 60
departments, agencies, and commissions.
The Paperwork Reduction Act requires
that agency information collections
minimize duplication and burden on the
public, have practical utility, and
support the proper performance of the
agency's mission.
Announcing the launch of RegInfo Mobile, the first-ever mobile-app that allows users to more easily find information about the status of federal regulations and information collection requests. We are making it easier for Americans to engage with their government, and making government more transparent. It is also another step we're taking to build a modern, smarter, and more efficient Federal Government.
OMB has added some additional functionality which we hope will help users with our site. We have added an ICR Dashboard. It displays a graphical representation of the Information Collection packages currently under review at OIRA. The ICRs can be viewed by agency, type of request, relationship to rulemaking, and length of review. Each view also provides a complete listing of the individual ICRs meeting the selected criteria.
For more information on the Paperwork Reduction Act and OIRA’s role in reviewing information collections, refer to the FAQs.
We hope this will help users find information related to Information Collections. Please contact us at risc@gsa.gov with your thoughts on these changes or any other questions you have on the site.
