OMB MEMO MAY PUSH MORE EXTENSIVE PROGRAM OFFICE RISK ASSESSMENTS

摘要

The White House Office of Management & Budget's (OMB) new memo on federal risk assessment principles could make risk assessments conducted by EPA program offices subject to first-time OMB review, as well as impose more prescriptive requirements on the program offices, according to a top EPA risk assessor.rnThe official says the memo is less likely to result in significant changes for Office of Research & Development (ORD) risk assessments, which follow many of the memo's requirements and are already subject to OMB review.
