		John Graham, the Bush Administration’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), has a long record of intense opposition to government action on scores of health, safety and environmental matters on behalf of deep-pocket corporate contributors.
		OIRA was created by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) in 1980, and certain responsibilities are outlined in that law.
		The office oversees the issuance of regulation from soup to nuts — everything from agency information gathering to agenda-setting to evaluation of a final rule falls under its purview and is subject to its considerable level of discretionary oversight.

		In earlier decades, when information was maintained manually rather than through automation, paperwork burden could be captured by estimating the "burden hours" that an individual, a company, or other entity would have to expend in filling out a form or otherwise responding to an agency collection.
		When information is collected from firms, it may be relatively easy to estimate the employee cost associated with responding to the collection.

		The Office of Advocacy believes the FCC should encourage smaller local businesses to meet this need, since these companies often have strong ties to the communities they serve and are more motivated than nonlocal firms to gauge and fill the needs of rural and tribal residents.
		The Office of Advocacy has been involved in a number of FCC proceedings that have proposed licensing spectrum in various bandwidths on a geographic basis.
		Among other things, the Office of Advocacy challenged the agency's failure to prepare an adequate analysis of the rule's impact and whether rural ambulance services were receiving adequate reimbursement levels.

		In addition, the Proposed Guidelines require that the information disseminated be "useful to all users of the information, including the public," something that is inherently impossible in the context of scientific research.
		While high quality scientific research results (as determined through the peer review process) should be disseminated, such information is likely to be "useful" to only some but not all "users" (i.e., relevant members of the scientific community), and is very unlikely to be useful to the public.
		Such information should be protected from public scrutiny (absent a legally authorized subpoena or statutory requirement) both to ensure the free thinking and exchange of ideas among scientists and to prevent a paralyzing administrative and regulatory burden on working scientists.

		The preamble does not clearly explain why the 20 ppb option is not included for comment, although the option is included in the regulatory analysis.
		The sensitivity analysis of the risk reduction benefits uses a very narrow range of uncertainty, in contrast to the large range of uncertainties cited in the NRC report on arsenic.
		Allowing the public to comment on the 20 ppb option would be sound public policy, consistent with the Safe Drinking Water Act and the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to consider all reasonable regulatory options that meet statutory goals, while reducing small business burdens.

		Except for two who are now federal judges and are thus precluded from joining us, we the undersigned constitute all of the Administrators of OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) who served during the Reagan and Bush presidencies.
		We realize, of course, that researches have a proprietary interest in their work and are reluctant sometimes to share data with others.
		In our opinion such objections are altogether groundless, as the Freedom of Information Act, through which the OMB requirements would have to operate, provides specific protections against the release of data in such instances.

	NCPA - Government And Politics - Federal Paperwork Burden Has Increased (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Federal agencies estimated their information collections imposed about 7 billion burden hours on the public at the end of fiscal year 1995 (FY) -- just before the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) of 1995 took effect.
		The PRA required the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to set goals of at least a 10-percent reduction in the overall government paperwork burden for each of fiscal years 1996 and 1997, and a 5 percent reduction in each of the next 4 fiscal years.
		Instead, the data GAO obtained from OIRA shows the burden increased by about 5 percent during this period, and stood at nearly 7.4 billion hours as of September 30, 2000.
