Unexpected Items: 1 provision

Exception or delay for a subset (1)
- Sec. 2: Sunsets for agency reports: Requires agencies to list outdated or duplicative recurring reports in budget justification materials, but the definition of "recurring plan or report" leaves out any report required to be submitted to the Senate Committee on Armed Services.
What it does
- Sec. 2: Requires the head of each agency to include in its budget justification materials a list of each recurring plan or report the agency submits that the head determines to be outdated or duplicative.
- Sec. 2: Requires, for each listed plan or report, a recommendation to sunset, modify, consolidate, or reduce its frequency, a citation to each law or congressional report directive requiring it, a list of relevant committees, and a justification.
- Sec. 2: Requires an agency that must coordinate or consult with another agency or entity on a report to consult it, and lists the report only if each consulted agency or entity agrees it is outdated or duplicative.
- Sec. 2: Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to determine whether a report required from at least 2 agencies is outdated or duplicative, and to make recommendations to Congress accordingly.
- Sec. 2: Allows the chair and ranking member of each relevant congressional committee to agree or disagree with an agency recommendation or postpone a decision, and to notify the agency of that disposition.
- Sec. 2: States that nothing in the new section relieves the head of an agency from a requirement to submit a recurring plan or report.
