OMB Form Number

The OMB number on government forms refers to the control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to each specific information collection request, such as a government form. The OMB is a federal agency that oversees and coordinates various aspects of the federal budget, management, and regulatory policy. The OMB number is used to track and manage paperwork burdens on the public and businesses that arise from the collection of information by the federal government.

When a federal agency wants to collect information from the public, it typically needs to go through a clearance process with the OMB. This process ensures that the information collection is necessary, properly designed, and not overly burdensome. Once the OMB approves the information collection, it assigns an OMB control number to the collection, which is then displayed on the corresponding government forms.

The presence of an OMB number on government forms serves a few key purposes:

  1. Identification: It uniquely identifies the information collection request associated with the form. This helps both the government agency and the public to track and manage the collection of information.

  2. Regulatory Compliance: The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requires federal agencies to obtain OMB approval for information collections that impose a paperwork burden on the public. The OMB number signifies that the collection has undergone this approval process.

  3. Transparency: By including the OMB number on the form, the government provides transparency to the public regarding the control number and the associated clearance process.

  4. Accountability: The OMB number helps in monitoring and evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the government's information collection activities.

In summary, the OMB number on government forms is a way to track and manage information collection requests, ensuring that they are properly authorized, necessary, and not overly burdensome to the public.
