OIRA (Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs)

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is a part of the U.S. government, specifically under the Office of Management and Budget. Its main role is to oversee federal regulations and ensure they are effective, efficient, and in line with the public interest. OIRA reviews proposed rules from agencies, assesses their economic impact, and ensures they comply with laws and policies. Additionally, it promotes transparency and accountability in the regulatory process, helping to balance the need for regulation with its potential costs to businesses and individuals.
