The GW Regulatory Studies Center and IBM Center for The Business of Government co-hosted a roundtable and reception November 16, 2023 in Washington, DC commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Executive Order 12866 and 20th Anniversary of Circular A-4. The event brought together OIRA Administrators from the past five presidential administrations.
Revising Regulatory Review
At our May 9, 2023 public forum examining executive actions on Modernizing Regulatory Review, OIRA Administrator Richard Revesz discussed these changes with a panel of former OIRA administrators who served in the Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations. That was followed by a panel of experts in regulatory impact analysis at the federal level who explored in more depth the draft OMB Circular A-4.
