Management and Budget Office March 7, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On September 28, 2012, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), together with the European Commission's Enterprise and Trade Directorates-General, published a joint request for comments on ``Promoting US EC Regulatory Compatibility'' (see https:// www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=USTR-2012-0028-0001). The notice was part of a joint effort by the United States and the European Union (EU) to obtain input from the public on how to promote greater transatlantic regulatory compatibility generally as well as in specific economic sectors.

On April 10th and 11th, OMB and the European Commission will hold a public meeting of the U.S.-EU High Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum (the ``Forum'') in Washington, DC, to provide interested persons with an opportunity to provide an oral statement.
