SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress directed the Office of Management 
and Budget to prepare an annual Report to Congress on the Benefits and 
Costs of Federal Regulations. Specifically, section 624 of title IV of 
the FY 2001 Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, also 
known as the ``Regulatory Right-to-Know Act'' (the Act), requires OMB 
to submit a report on the benefits and costs of Federal regulations 
together with recommendations for reform. The Act states that the 
report should contain estimates of the costs and benefits of 
regulations in the aggregate, by agency and agency program, and by 
major rule, as well as an analysis of impacts of Federal regulation on 
State, local, and Tribal governments, small businesses, wages, and 
economic growth. The Act also states that the report should be subject 
to notice and comment and peer review. OIRA requests public comments on 
the report in general, including its substance and format; how to 
improve transparency and accountability with respect to the effects of 
regulation; and the various recommendations for reform.

Richard Revesz,
Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
