Comment Requesting Extension of Comment Period and Modifications to OMB Ecosystem Services Guidance

ARTBA sent a letter to the Administrator of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the White House Office of Management and Budget offering the following comments:

• The proposal gives agencies broad discretion to employ favorable assumptions to achieve a particular regulatory outcome.
• The proposal is too technically complex to achieve its intended purpose.
• OMB should not issue new proposals before withdrawing or finalizing its revisions to Circular A-4.
