OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

Rescission of OMB Circulars

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rescission of OMB Circular A-105 ``Standard 
Federal Regions''.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that OMB intends to rescind Circular 
No.  A-105, ``Standard Federal Regions.'' The current circular 
establishes ten standard Federal regions, uniform regional boundaries 
and common regional office headquarter locations for all Federal 
domestic agencies. The circular also provides guidelines for 
establishing or realigning field structures, regional offices, and 
subregional offices. Circular A-105 is being proposed for rescission 
because changes in the way the Federal Government manages resources; 
agency efforts to reduce duplicative levels of management and 
oversight; and expanded use of technology to interact with the public 
makes a strict regional structure inefficient and unnecessary.

DATES: Persons who wish to comment on the proposed rescission of 
Circular No. A-105 should submit their comments no later than April 24, 
1995. The rescission will take place June 8, 1995, unless the comments 
raise significant concerns regarding the proposed rescission.

[[Page 15172]] ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Steve 
Mertens, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office 
Building, 725 17th Street, NW, Room 9002, Washington, D.C. 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
For further information on the proposed rescission of Circular No. A-
105, contact Steve Mertens on (202)  395-4935. For further information 
on OMB's overall review of its circulars, contact Frank J. Seidl, III, 
Staff Assistant, on (202) 395-5146; or Rosalyn J. Rettman, Associate 
General Counsel for Budget on (202) 395-5000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) has initiated a systematic review of all OMB circulars, in 
an effort to reduce unnecessary Government directives. As part of this 
initiative, each OMB circular is being reviewed to see whether it 
should be rescinded or whether its requirements can be simplified.

    Dated: March 10, 1995.
John B. Arthur,
Associate Director for Administration.
