ACTION: Notice of public comment
period.
AGENCY:
The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) is seeking public
comment on a draft memorandum titled
Advancing Governance, Innovation, and
Risk Management for Agency Use of
Artificial Intelligence (AI). As proposed,
the memorandum would establish new
agency requirements in areas of AI
governance, innovation, and risk
management, and would direct agencies
to adopt specific minimum risk
management practices for uses of AI that
impact the rights and safety of the
public. The full text of the draft
memorandum is available for review at
https://www.ai.gov/input and https://
www.regulations.gov.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before December 5, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Please submit comments via
https://www.regulations.gov, a Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Administration has undertaken
numerous efforts to advance responsible
AI innovation and secure protections for
people’s rights and safety. This work
spans targeted sector-specific initiatives,
such as the Department of Health and
Human Services’ proposed rule to
protect patients from discriminatory
algorithms in health care,i as well as
more broadly applicable guidance from
the Department of Justice and Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
to help employers avoid AI-enabled
disability discrimination in
employment.ii Significant efforts have
also yielded the development of
landmark voluntary frameworks such as
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology’s (NIST) AI Risk
Management Framework and White
House Office of Science and Technology
Policy’s Blueprint for an AI Bill of
Rights. To build upon this body of
policy, and in accord with President
Biden’s Executive Order of October 30,
2023 (Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy
Development and Use of Artificial
Intelligence), OMB has prepared a draft
memorandum that would direct Federal
agencies to strengthen their AI
governance and innovation programs
while managing risks from the use of AI,

Affordable Care Act; 42 U.S.C. 18116, https://

particularly when that use affects the
safety and rights of the public. This
memorandum also would carry out
provisions of the AI in Government Act
of 2020, secs. 101–104, Div. U, Public
Law 116–260, and the Advancing
American AI Act, secs. 7221–7228,

Requests for Comment
Through this Request for Comment,
OMB hopes to gather information on the
questions posed below. However, this
list is not intended to limit the scope of
topics that may be addressed.
Commenters are invited to provide
feedback on any topic believed to have
implications for the content or
implementation of the proposed
memorandum.
When responding to one or more of
the questions below, please note in the
text of your response the number of the
question to which you are responding.
Commenters should include a page
number on each page of their
submissions. Commenters are not
required to respond to all questions.
OMB is requesting feedback related to
the following:
1. The composition of Federal
agencies varies significantly in ways
that will shape the way they approach
governance. An overarching Federal
policy must account for differences in
an agency’s size, organization, budget,
mission, organic AI talent, and more.
Are the roles, responsibilities, seniority,
position, and reporting structures
outlined for Chief AI Officers
sufficiently flexible and achievable for
the breadth of covered agencies?
2. What types of coordination
mechanisms, either in the public or
private sector, would be particularly
effective for agencies to model in their
establishment of an AI Governance
Body? What are the benefits or
drawbacks to having agencies
establishing a new body to perform AI
governance versus updating the scope of
an existing group (for example, agency
bodies focused on privacy, IT, or data)?
3. How can OMB best advance
responsible AI innovation?
4. With adequate safeguards in place,
how should agencies take advantage of
generative AI to improve agency
missions or business operations?
5. Are there use cases for presumed
safety-impacting and rights-impacting
AI (Section 5 (b)) that should be
included, removed, or revised? If so,
why?
6. Do the minimum practices
identified for safety-impacting and
rights-impacting AI set an appropriate
baseline that is applicable across all
agencies and all such uses of AI? How

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2023 / Notices
can the minimum practices be
improved, recognizing that agencies will
need to apply context-specific risk
mitigations in addition to what is listed?
7. What types of materials or
resources would be most valuable to
help agencies, as appropriate,
incorporate the requirements and
recommendations of this memorandum
into relevant contracts?
8. What kind of information should be
made public about agencies’ use of AI
in their annual use case inventory?
