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. Circular A-94 was last revised in 1992. These 
proposed revisions reflect scientific and economic advances since that 
time. 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.
