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: https://
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repealed in order to promote those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 https://
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.

Notice of Continuance for General
Clearance for Guidelines, Applications,
and Reporting Forms
AGENCY: Institute of Museum and
Library Services.
ACTION: Notice of requests for
information collection, comment
request.
SUMMARY: The Institute of Museum and
Library Service (IMLS) as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
This program helps to ensure that
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Institute of
Museum and Library Services is
currently soliciting comments on IMLS
program guidelines and reporting
requirements.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
June 26, 2010.
The IMLS is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
