The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB , German as Office of Management and Budget beings ) is a US federal agency with cabinet rank and the greatest authority in the Executive Office of the President of the United States (EOP).

Field of activity

The OMB reports to the White House on the activities of all federal agencies. In addition, the OMB advises the company's officials on issues such as federal politics, administration, legislation and budgetary management. The majority of the 500 staff monitors compliance with and adherence to their assigned federal programs referred to in the policy president . In addition, the OMB has an important role as a coordinating authority: among other things, with the annual collection and announcement of the President's budget measurement, with the sending of circulars to all federal authorities in which new procedures are prescribed for the management, with the supervision of the management agenda of the President and when reviewing guidelines in the authorities.

Employee

The employees of the OMB are not only highly-valued administrative officials, but are also appointed partly for political reasons. The OMB staff are an important part of continuity in the executive branch , especially as most of the career officials remain in their posts no matter which party is currently in charge in the house.

Six positions in the OMB are appointed by the President and confirmed by the US Senate :

  • the director
  • the deputy director
  • the Head of Management
  • and the heads of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, and Office of Federal Financial Management

After Sylvia Mathews Burwell moved to the post of US Secretary of Health, her deputy Brian Deese led the agency on an interim basis before Shaun Donovan took office in July 2014 .

Structure of the authority

The largest part of the OMB are the four divisions of Resource Management, which mirror the U.S. federal government. It is estimated that half of the employees work in these departments, the majority of whom work as program auditors. These program auditors usually oversee one or more federal agencies, or they control a specific area, such as everything that affects US Navy warships .

These OMB employees have dual responsibility, on the one hand for all issues relating to management and the budget, and on the other hand they are supposed to make well-founded recommendations on the programs. Each year, the OMB reviews the federal agencies' budget requirements and thus helps decide which of these requests will be sent to Congress as part of the presidential budget .

Detailed program assessments using the Program Assessment Rating Tool are applied, rules proposed by the authorities are rated, a certificate from the authority is used, pending legislation is taken into account, and the requests are compared with the objectives of the President's Management Agenda. The OMB also offers each cabinet member special analyzes.

The employees of the subordinate authorities Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs , Office of Federal Procurement Policy , Office of Federal Financial Management and Office of E-Government also receive statistics, analyzes and data from the OMB. There are also various supporting offices such as the Office of General Counsel , the Office of Legislative Affairs , the Budget Review Division (BRD) and the Legislative Reference Division .

The FRG is largely responsible for the nationwide coordination and for the technical side of the budget projections, which are published every February. Regarding the expenditure estimate for the executive branch, the FRG thus has the same purpose as the Congressional Budget Office for the expenditure estimate of the Congress, the Department of the Treasury for the estimate of the revenues of the executive branch, and the Joint Committee on Taxation for the estimate of the revenues of the Congress .

The Legislative Reference Division plays the important role of the central clearing house for proposed legislation throughout the federal government. It disseminates the proposed legislative initiatives to the responsible federal auditors and summarizes their comments. It is also the responsibility of this authority to write an Enrolled Bill Memorandum for the President as soon as a bill is submitted to the President for signature by both chambers.

The Enrolled Bill Memorandum compiles the details of this draft, the opinions of various federal ministries affected by the draft law, and a final opinion on a signature or a veto on this draft. This department also publishes the Statements of Administration Policy , which summarizes the official White House opinion for Congressmen.

history

The Bureau of the Budget , predecessor to this agency, was created as part of the Treasury Department in 1921 under the Budget and Accounting Act. In 1939 it was assigned to the Executive Office of the President ; In 1970 it was reorganized as the Office of Management and Budget. The first OMB consisted of the director Roy Ash , his deputy Paul O'Neill , the department head Fred Malek, the second department head Frank Zarb and around two dozen other employees. In 1990 the OMB was rebuilt to remove the differences between the administrative staff and those of the household. These roles have now been combined in the Resource Management Offices by the program auditors.
