BILLING CODE 3110-01-P OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET 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.

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* .
