Executive Office of the President December 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), on behalf of the Environmental-Economic Accounting Classification Interagency Technical Working Group (ITWG), seeks public comments on an Interim Report which contains initial draft statistical classification guidance for environmental-economic accounting classifications. Details about the Interim Report, its contents, and specific questions of interest for public comment are available in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is proposing to amend its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations to incorporate amendments to the FOIA set forth in the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016; to conform to guidance for Federal agencies from the Department of Justice; to make them easier for the public to understand and use; and to better reflect CEQ's current policy and practice. These proposed regulations reaffirm CEQ's commitment to providing the fullest possible disclosure of records to the public. In addition, CEQ is proposing to amend its regulations implementing the Privacy Act of 1974 (the Privacy Act) to make them easier for the public to understand and use and to better reflect CEQ's current policy and practice. The proposed regulations would also make administrative changes, including reorganizing, renumbering, and renaming the sections of CEQ's current FOIA and Privacy Act regulations.
