Background:
OMB's predominant mission is to assist the President in overseeing
the preparation of the Federal budget and to supervise its administration in
Executive Branch agencies. In helping to formulate the President's spending
plans, OMB evaluates the effectiveness of agency programs, policies, and
procedures, assesses competing funding demands among agencies, and sets
funding priorities. OMB ensures that agency reports, rules, testimony, and
proposed legislation are consistent with the President's budget and with
Administration policies. In addition, OMB oversees and coordinates the
Administration's procurement, financial management, information, and
regulatory policies. In each of these areas, OMB's role is to help improve
administrative management, to develop better performance measures and
coordinating mechanisms, and to reduce any unnecessary burdens on the
public.
