Public Comment on Guidelines and Discount Rates for Benefit-Cost Analysis of Federal Programs

AGENCY:

Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION:

Revisions to OMB Circular No. A-94.

SUMMARY:

OMB is proposing revisions to Circular A-94, which provides guidance on benefit-cost analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis of Federal spending. Circular A-94 was last revised in 1992. These proposed revisions reflect scientific and economic advances since that time. Included in the proposed revisions are changes in the discount rate for benefit-cost analysis. This guidance is separate from Circular A-4, which covers benefit-cost analysis of regulations, rather than spending. Members of the public are encouraged to provide comment.

DATES:

June 6, 2023.

ADDRESSES:

The revised Circular can be accessed at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/CircularA94.pdf .
