Public Comment on Guidelines and

Analysis of Federal Programs
AGENCY:
Revisions to OMB Circular No.
A–94.
OMB is proposing revisions to
Circular A–94, which provides guidance
on benefit-cost analysis and costeffectiveness analysis of Federal
spending. Circular A–94 was last
revised in 1992. These proposed
revisions reflect scientific and economic
advances since that time. Included in
the proposed revisions are changes in
the discount rate for benefit-cost
analysis. This guidance is separate from
Circular A–4, which covers benefit-cost
analysis of regulations, rather than
spending. Members of the public are
encouraged to provide comment.
DATES: June 6, 2023.
ADDRESSES: The revised Circular can be
accessed at https://

input received through the Federal
Docket Management System,
Reginfo.gov, email, hardcopy
communications, and other authorized
means.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SORN@omb.eop.gov. You must include
‘‘OMB Public Input System of Records’’
in the subject line.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
engages in a number of activities,
including issuing guidance, policy, and
regulatory actions, many of which invite
the public to provide input to OMB.
One way in which OMB makes
documents available for public input is
through the Federal eRulemaking
system, which is managed by the
General Services Administration (GSA).
The eRulemaking system is a
centralized repository for all Federal
rulemaking dockets, including notices
of proposed rulemaking, interim rules,
final rules, other types of rulemaking
actions, supporting materials such as
scientific or economic analyses, and
public comments, as well as for some
non-rulemaking dockets, such as notices
and guidance or policy documents. It
consists of a public facing interface,
www.regulations.gov, and a portal
visible to OMB called the Federal
Docket Management System (FDMS), at
www.FDMS.gov. The FDMS is a Federal
Government-wide document
management system. OMB employees
with a need to use the system may selfregister to use FDMS but may only see
dockets of OMB.
Additionally, OMB uses the website
at www.reginfo.gov to post notices of
and accept meeting requests regarding
regulatory actions currently under
review pursuant to Executive Order
(E.O.) 12866 of September 30, 1993
(Regulatory Planning and Review). OMB
also reviews information collection
requests under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) and, during the 30day review of information collections,
the public may comment on materials
submitted by the agency as part of their
request for a new information collection
or an extension or revision to an
existing information collection through
www.reginfo.gov. E.O. 12866 establishes
and governs the process under which
OMB reviews agencies’ regulatory
actions, including any substantive
action that promulgates or is expected to
lead to the promulgation of a final rule.
Under E.O. 12866, non-governmental
parties can request meetings concerning
proposed regulatory actions under OMB
review to present their views. Meeting
requesters may submit to OMB
documents to be discussed during the
