Book Description
The process of issuing and enforcing regulations is a basic tool of government, but the costs that nonfederal entities pay to comply with federal regulations are not accounted for in the federal budget process. This report provides information on the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) 1997 and 1998 reports to Congress regarding the costs and benefits of federal regulations. Specifically, it describes, for each of 4 statutory requirements, (1) how OMB addressed the requirements in its reports and (2) the views of noted economists in the field of cost-benefit analysis regarding OMB's responses in these reports.
