We did not request nominations in 2003 because that was the year that we revamped OIRA's regulatory-analysis guidelines.
And part of OIRA's task has been to evaluate any new regulatory proposals under a very rigorous lens.

John Graham of Indiana University, who ran OIRA under Mr Bush, cites the new fuel-economy standards as an example.
Telephone logs and materials from meetings with the public attended by the OIRA Administrator are also available in the RMC.
The RMC also maintains certain records related to proposed Federal agency regulatory actions reviewed by OIRA under Executive Order 12866.
In fact, OIRA meets with any entity that asks for a meeting.
The OIRA Records Management Center (RMC) contains paper records related to information collections sponsored by the Federal government and approved by OIRA under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
And for the standards listed, OIRA also met four times with the Sierra Club, three times with the American Lung Association, and three times with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
And this builds on the efforts that we have here in the United States, led by Cass Sunstein at OIRA, where we're eliminating billions of dollars in costs from regulations.
Second, agencies are to submit a Statement of Energy Effects to the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) whenever they present a significant energy action for OIRA review under E.

During the first three years of the Obama administration, the number of final rules reviewed by OIRA and issued by executive agencies was actually lower than during the first three years of the Bush administration.
In emergency situations, or when an agency is obligated by law to act more quickly than normal rulemaking procedures allow, the agency shall notify OIRA as soon as possible, and, to the extent practicable, comply with E.
WHITEHOUSE: Memoranda 01-27 (Guidance for Implementing E.O. 13211)
For those regulatory actions that are governed by a statutory or court-imposed deadline, the agency shall, to the extent practicable, schedule rulemaking proceedings so as to permit sufficient time to prepare any applicable Statement of Energy Effects and to permit OIRA to conduct its regulatory review.
WHITEHOUSE: Memoranda 01-27 (Guidance for Implementing E.O. 13211)
The MOU provides for consultations between OIRA and Advocacy on agency compliance with the RFA, and it authorizes OIRA to return rules to agencies for non-compliance with the RFA. We expect that the MOU will enhance our ability to ensure that agencies are meeting their RFA responsibilities.
If an agency has already published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that constitutes a significant energy action, the agency shall prepare the Statement of Energy Effects and submit it to OIRA as soon as practicable, but no later than the agency submits the Final Rule to OIRA under E.

Fully two-thirds of the benefits of economically significant final rules reviewed by OIRA in 2010 were thanks to reductions in fine particles brought about by regulations that were actually aimed at something else, according to Susan Dudley of George Washington University, who served in OIRA under George Bush (see chart).
In 2002 OMB did not attempt to define "high priority" reforms for two reasons: (1) the large volume of nominations exceeded the capabilities of OIRA staff to evaluate them and (2) the agencies, we felt, might take greater ownership of reforms if they determined which were to be treated as a priority.
