Budget to prepare an annual Report to
Congress on the Benefits and Costs of
Federal Regulations. Specifically,
Section 628 of the FY 2000 Treasury
and General Government
Appropriations Act, also known as the
‘‘Regulatory Right-to-Know Act,’’
requires OMB to submit a report on the
benefits and costs of Federal regulations
together with recommendations for
reform. It 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 Regulatory Right-to-Know
Act also states that the report should be
subject to notice and comment and to
peer review. Additionally, in
accordance the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), OMB
reports on agency compliance with
UMRA Title II, which generally requires
that an agency conduct a cost-benefit
analysis, and identify and consider a
reasonable number of regulatory
alternatives, before proposing or
finalizing a rule that may result in
expenditures of more than $100 million
(adjusted for inflation) in at least one
year by State, local, and tribal
governments, or by the private sector;
each agency must also seek input from
State, local, and tribal governments.
