The '''Office of Management and Budget''' ('''OMB''') is the largest office{{Efn|In terms of number of employees and budget.}} within the [[Executive Office of the President of the United States]] and is responsible for implementing the [[Mandate (politics)|president's agenda]] across the [[Federal government of the United States|executive branch]].

In 1921, Congress passed legislation to create the Bureau of the Budget to assist the president in developing his budget to be enacted or rejected by the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] under [[Article One of the United States Constitution|Article One]] of the Constitution.<ref>{{United States Code|31|1101|1126}} passed as the ''[[Budget and Accounting Act]]'' (1921) ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210308064813/https://www.gao.gov/assets/D03855.pdf PDF]).</ref> In 1970, President [[Richard Nixon]] led the reorganization of the bureau into its current form as the OMB reporting directly to the president.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Management and the President's Budget: Hearing before the Subcommittee on Government Efficiency and Financial Management of the Committee on Government Reform |date=March 26, 2003 |publisher=United States Government Publishing Office |others=House of Representatives, One Hundred Eighth Congress, first session |isbn=978-0-16-070738-4 |location=Washington}}</ref>

Originally intended to be a politically neutral and analytical organization, the 1970 restructuring transformed the OMB from a simple budget office to one of the most powerful institutions directly under the president's control.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lewis |first=David E. |date=2012 |title=The Contemporary Presidency: The Personnel Process in the Modern Presidency |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41684517 |journal=Presidential Studies Quarterly |volume=42 |issue=3 |pages=577–596 |doi=10.1111/j.1741-5705.2012.03993.x |jstor=41684517 |issn=0360-4918}}</ref> Successive presidents have expanded the scope of duties and power of the OMB, with occasional but limited pushback from Congress.

[[Russell Vought]] is the current director of the OMB, appointed by [[Donald Trump]] in February 2025.

==History==
{{expand section|date=January 2016}}
The '''Bureau of the Budget''', OMB's predecessor, was established in 1921 as a part of the [[United States Department of the Treasury|Department of the Treasury]] by the [[Budget and Accounting Act|Budget and Accounting Act of 1921]], which President [[Warren G. Harding]] signed into law. The Bureau of the Budget was moved to the [[Executive Office of the President of the United States|Executive Office of the President]] in 1939 and was run by [[Harold D. Smith]] during the government's rapid expansion of spending during [[World War II]]. James L. Sundquist, a staffer at the Bureau of the Budget, called the relationship between the president and the bureau extremely close and subsequent bureau directors have been politicians, not public administrators.<ref>Oral History Interview with James L. Sundquist, Washington, D.C., July 15, 1963, by Charles T. Morrissey, {{cite web| url = https://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/sundquis.htm| title = James L.

The bureau was reorganized into the Office of Management and Budget in 1970 during the [[Presidency of Richard Nixon|Nixon administration]].<ref>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20201022050655/https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-84/pdf/STATUTE-84-Pg2085.pdf Reorganization Plan No. 2.]'' (1970).{{USStat|84|2085}} </ref> The first OMB included [[Roy Ash]] (head), [[Paul H. O'Neill|Paul O'Neill]] (assistant director), [[Fred Malek]] (deputy director), [[Frank Zarb]] (associate director) and two dozen others.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Herbers |first=John |date=March 3, 1974 |title=Ash, Malek, O'Neill, Zarb & Co.: Not household names but their power is great, and growing |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1974/03/03/archives/the-other-presidency-ash-malek-oneill-zarb-co-not-household-names.html |access-date=August 5, 2025 |work=[[The New York Times]] |language=en}}</ref>

In the 1990s, OMB was reorganized to remove the distinction between management staff and budgetary staff by combining the dual roles into each given program examiner within the Resource Management Offices.<ref>{{cite web |title=OMB Organization Chart |url=http://www.obamawhitehouse.gov/omb/assets/about_omb/omb_org_chart.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206104925/http://www.obamawhitehouse.gov/omb/assets/about_omb/omb_org_chart.pdf |archive-date=February 6, 2017 |url-status=live |publisher=Office of Management and Budget }}</ref>

==Purpose==
OMB prepares the president's budget proposal to Congress and supervises the administration of the executive branch agencies. It 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 administration policies.

OMB also 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, develop better performance measures and coordinating mechanisms, and reduce unnecessary burdens on the public.

OMB's critical missions are:<ref>[http://www.obamawhitehouse.gov/omb/organization_mission/ Organization Mission] at archive of OMB site</ref>

#Budget development and execution, a prominent government-wide process managed by the Executive Office of the President (EOP) and a device by which a president implements their policies, priorities, and actions in everything from the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] to [[NASA]].
#Managing other agencies' financials, paperwork, and IT.

==Structure==
===Overview===
OMB is made up mainly of career appointed staff who provide continuity across changes of party and administration in the White House. Six positions within OMB{{snd}}the director, the deputy director, the deputy director for management, and the administrators of the [[Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs]], the [[Office of Federal Procurement Policy]], and the [[Office of Federal Financial Management]]{{snd}}are presidentially appointed and [[United States Senate|Senate]]-[[Advice and consent|confirmed]] positions.

OMB's largest components are the five Resource Management Offices, which are organized along functional lines mirroring the federal government, each led by an OMB associate director. Approximately half of all OMB staff are assigned to these offices, the majority of whom are designated as program examiners. Program examiners can be assigned to monitor one or more federal agencies or may be deployed by a topical area, such as monitoring issues relating to U.S. Navy warships. These staff have dual responsibility for both management and budgetary issues, as well as for giving expert advice on all aspects relating to their programs. Each year they review federal agency budget requests and help decide what resource requests will be sent to Congress as part of the president's budget. They perform in-depth program evaluations with the Program Assessment Rating Tool, review proposed regulations and agency testimony, analyze pending legislation, and oversee the aspects of the president's management agenda including agency management scorecards. They are often called upon to provide analysis information to EOP staff. They also provide important information to those assigned to the statutory offices within OMB: the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, the Office of Federal Financial Management, and the [[Office of E-Government & Information Technology]], which specializes in issues such as federal regulations and procurement policy and law.

Other components are OMB-wide support offices, including the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Legislative Affairs, the Budget Review Division (BRD), and the Legislative Reference Division. The BRD performs government-wide budget coordination and is largely responsible for the technical aspects relating to the release of the president's budget each February. With respect to the estimation of spending for the [[Executive (government)|executive branch]], the BRD serves a purpose parallel to that of the [[Congressional Budget Office]] (which was created in response to the OMB) for estimating Congressional spending, the [[United States Department of the Treasury|Department of the Treasury]] for estimating executive branch revenue, and the [[U.S. Congress Joint Committee on Taxation|Joint Committee on Taxation]] for estimating Congressional revenue.

The Legislative Reference Division is the federal government's central clearing house for proposed legislation or testimony by federal officials. It distributes proposed legislation and testimony to all relevant federal reviewers and distills the comments into a consensus opinion of the administration about the proposal. It is also responsible for writing an Enrolled Bill Memorandum to the president once a bill is presented by both chambers of Congress for the president's signature. The Enrolled Bill Memorandum details the bill's particulars, opinions on the bill from relevant federal departments, and an overall opinion about whether it should be signed into law or [[Veto power in the United States|vetoed]]. It also issues Statements of Administration Policy that let Congress know the White House's official position on proposed legislation.

===Role in the executive budget process===
In practice, the president has assigned the OMB certain responsibilities when it comes to the budget and hiring authorities who play key roles in developing it. OMB coordinates the development of the president's budget proposal by issuing [[List of OMB Circulars|circulars]], memoranda, and guidance documents to the heads of executive agencies. The OMB works very closely with executive agencies in making sure the budget process and proposal is smooth.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Office of Management and Budget and the Presidency, 1921-1979 |publisher=Princeton University Press |last=Berman|first=Larry|isbn=9781400867288|location=Princeton, New Jersey|oclc=905862779|date = March 8, 2015}}</ref>

The development of the budget within the executive branch has many steps and takes nearly a year to complete. The first step is the OMB informing the president of the country's economic situation. The next step is known as the Spring Guidance: the OMB gives executive agencies instructions on policy guidance to use when coming up with their budget requests along with due dates for them to submit their requests. The OMB then works with the agencies to discuss issues in the upcoming budget. In July, the OMB issues [[OMB Circular A-11|circular A-11]] to all agencies, which outlines instructions for submitting the budget proposals, which the agencies submit by September. The [[fiscal year]] begins October{{spaces}}1 and OMB staff meet with senior agency representatives to find out whether their proposals are in line with the president's priorities and policies and identify constraints within the budget proposal until late November. The OMB director then meets with the president and EOP advisors to discuss the agencies' budget proposals and recommends a federal budget proposal, and the agencies are notified of the decisions about their requests. They can appeal to OMB and the president in December if they are dissatisfied with the decisions. After working together to resolve issues, agencies and OMB prepare a budget justification document to present to relevant congressional committees, especially the Appropriations Committee. Finally, by the first Monday in February, the president must review and submit the final budget to Congress to approve.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=The Art of Policymaking|last1=Shambaugwh IV |last2=Weinstein Jr.|first1=George E.|first2=Paul J|publisher=CQ Press|year=2016|isbn=978-0321081032|location=Thousand Oaks, California|pages=109–113}}</ref>

OMB is also responsible for the preparation of Statements of Administrative Policy (SAPs) with the president. These statements allow the OMB to communicate the president's and agencies' policies to the government as a whole and set forth policymakers' agendas.<ref name=":0" /> During the review of the federal budget, interest groups can lobby for policy change and affect the budget for the new year.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Haeder|first1=Simon F.|last2=Webb Yackee|first2=Susan|date=August 2015|title=Influence and the Administrative Process: Lobbying the U.S. President's Office of Management and Budget|journal=American Political Science Review|volume=109|issue=3|pages=507–522|doi=10.1017/S0003055415000246|s2cid=145226542|issn=0003-0554}}</ref> OMB plays a key role in policy conflicts by making sure legislation and agencies' actions are consistent with the executive branch's. OMB has a powerful and influential role in the government, basically making sure its day-to-day operations run. Without a budget, federal employees could not be paid, federal buildings could not open and federal programs would come to a halt in a [[Government shutdowns in the United States|government shutdown.]] Shutdowns can occur when Congress refuses to pass a budget.<ref name=":1" />

===Suspension and debarment===
The Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee (ISDC) was created as an OMB committee by President Ronald Reagan's [[List of executive actions by Ronald Reagan|Executive Order]] 12549 in 1986, for the purpose of monitoring the implementation of the order. This order mandates executive departments and agencies to:
*participate in a government-wide [[Compliance requirements#Procurement and suspension and debarment (I)|suspension and debarment]] system,
*issue regulations with government-wide criteria and minimum due process procedures when debarring or suspending participants, and
*send debarred and suspended participants' identifying information to the [[General Services Administration]] for inclusion on a list of excluded persons, now known as the [[System for Award Management]] (SAM).<ref>US Environmental Protection Agency, [https://www.epa.gov/grants/interagency-suspension-and-debarment-committee Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124232139/https://www.epa.gov/grants/interagency-suspension-and-debarment-committee |date=January 24, 2021 }}, updated June 15, 2020, accessed February 8, 2021</ref>

===Circulars===
