Re: Not in today\'s issue

I thought that the reason the OMB had to look over all regulations was to perform an analysis of any costs that are involved. I don't think this means that the OMB has to approve, though.

There are a number of laws like the paperwork reduction act just to name one that allow OMB to play in these matters. Budget issues are a concern but even OMB's budget numbers are subject to scrunity. So it has more to do with existing laws affecting the running of the Federal Gov't that fall to OMB to "enforce", than striaght budget issues. You can have a reg with no budget issues and still have OMB at the table.
