OMB stands for Office of Management and Budget, a US federal agency abbreviation.
Largest office in the Executive Office of the President, which prepares the President's annual budget request, oversees agency spending and management, and reviews major regulations through its Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). It is led by the OMB Director, a cabinet-level post.
Example: Agencies must submit their spending plans to OMB before funds are apportioned.
Usage notes
Created in 1970 from the Bureau of the Budget, which had been established in the Treasury in 1921 and moved to the EOP in 1939. The President's budget is due to Congress on the first Monday in February, though it often arrives late. OMB circulars, such as A-11 on budget preparation, govern how agencies operate.
