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 and proposed final
regulatory actions. Consistent with the
disclosure provisions of Executive
Order 12866, OIRA provides
information about its work related to
regulatory reviews on Reginfo.gov at
www.Reginfo.gov and on OIRA’s Web
site at https://www.whitehouse.gov/
omb/oira. OIRA makes public all
substantive communications with any
party outside the Executive Branch
concerning regulatory actions under
review. If the OIRA Administrator or
his/her designee meets with outside
parties during a review, the subject,
date, and participants of the meeting are
disclosed on the Reginfo.gov Web site,
as well as any materials distributed at
such meetings.
These meetings occur at the initiative
and request of an outside party. Any
member of the public may request a
meeting about a regulatory action under
OIRA review, and may invite other
outside parties to attend. OIRA’s role in
these meetings is limited to listening to
feedback on the regulation under
review. In accordance with Executive
Order 12866, OIRA invites
representatives from the agency or
agencies issuing the regulatory action.
OIRA and agency staff may ask
clarifying questions, but do not take

minutes. OIRA does, however, post on
RegInfo.gov any written materials
provided by outside parties, including
the initial meeting request.
To ensure transparency associated
with meetings pursuant to Executive
Order 12866, OIRA will collect—and
then post publicly—the following
information, which outside parties must
provide, to request a meeting with OIRA
to present their views on a regulatory
action currently under review:
1. Name of the organization
requesting the meeting.
2. Name of the organization’s client or
who the organization is representing at
the meeting (if applicable).
3. The name of the regulatory action
on which the party would like to
present its views.
4. The Regulatory Identification
Number (RIN) of the regulatory action
on which the party would like to
present its views.
When outside parties arrive for their
meeting with OIRA they will then need
to provide the following information inperson:
1. The full names of all attendees
present at the meeting, and for each
attendee:
a. The name of the organization each
attendee is affiliated with; and
b. the attendee’s client or who the
attendee is representing (if applicable).
2. Copies of all briefing materials used
during the presentation that will be
given to OIRA for consideration.
All information submitted to OIRA
pursuant to this collection will be made
publicly available at Reginfo.gov.
This effort will streamline the current
process for outside parties when
requesting a meeting and will ensure
transparency and accuracy of the docket
that OIRA keeps in accordance with the
disclosure provisions of Executive
Order 12866. 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
should be collected from meeting
requestors to further the disclosure
provisions of Executive Order 12866.

information collection requirement.
Type of review: New.
Affected public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal

Request for comments: Comments

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

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.
