OMB POLICY STATEMENTS
New Administration To Reform OMB's Program Assessment and Rating Tool
President-elect Obama has pledged to reform the Program Assessment and Rating Tool (PART), which was one of the Office of Management and Budget’s. Under the PART program, OMB officials review each major program to see if it is correctly managed and showing results. OMB considers those reviews when fashioning each year’s budget. Obama has pledged to make the process more transparent, and to involve Congress in crafting program assessments.
