[Federal Register: April 29, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 82)]

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

Draft 2010 Report to Congress on the Benefits and Costs of
Federal Regulations

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the
President.

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requests comments on
its Draft 2010 Report to Congress on the Benefits and Costs of Federal
Regulations, available at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg_
regpol_reports_congress/
. The Draft Report is divided into four
chapters. Chapter I examines the benefits and costs of major Federal
regulations issued in fiscal year 2009 and summarizes the benefits and
costs of major regulations issued between October 1999 and September
2009. It also discusses regulatory impacts on State, local, and Tribal
governments, small business, wages, and economic growth. Chapter II
offers recommendations for regulatory reform. Chapter III provides an
update on implementation of the Information Quality Act. Chapter IV
summarizes agency compliance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    In this draft Report, OMB offers the following recommendations:
    1. OMB identifies several measures designed to meet analytical
challenges, principally involving increased transparency.
    2. OMB offers a brief discussion of disclosure as a regulatory
tool.
    3. OMB recommends consideration of certain low-cost approaches to
the problem of childhood obesity.
    4. OMB draws on principles of open government to invite public
suggestions about improvements in existing regulations, with particular
reference to economic growth.
    These recommendations build on those of the 2009 Report, in which
OMB emphasized the importance of open government and in particular of
obtaining access to ``dispersed knowledge'' about how to improve
regulation. To promote such engagement, OMB requests suggestions about
regulatory changes that might serve to promote economic growth, with
particular reference to increasing employment, innovation, and
competitiveness. OMB is especially interested in identifying both new
initiatives and current regulations that might be modified, expanded,
or repealed in order to promote those goals. Consistent with Executive
Order 12866, OMB welcomes suggestions for regulatory reforms that have
significant net benefits, that might increase net exports, and that
might promote growth, innovation, and competitiveness for small
business, perhaps through increasing flexibility. OMB requests that
nominations be submitted electronically to OMB within 60 days from the
date of notice publication in the Federal Register through http://
www.regulations.gov
.

DATES: To ensure consideration of comments as OMB prepares this Draft
Report for submission to Congress, comments must be in writing and
received by 60 days after publication.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments by one of the following methods:
    http://www.regulations.gov: Direct comments to Docket ID
OMB-2010-0008.
    Fax: (202) 395-7285.
    Mail: Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office
of Management and Budget, Attn: Darcel D. Gayle, NEOB, Room 10202, 725
17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503. We are still experiencing
delays in the regular mail, including first class and express mail. To
ensure that your comments are received, we recommend that comments on
this draft report be electronically submitted.

All comments and recommendations submitted in response to this notice
will be made available to the public, including by posting them on
OMB's Web site. For this reason, please do not include in your comments
information of a confidential nature, such as sensitive personal
information or proprietary information. The http://www.regulations.gov
Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means OMB will not
