Make VA’s rulemaking more responsive, visible, and predictable.

ORPM ensures regulations are drafted clearly, comply with applicable legal and technical requirements, comply with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and Executive Order 12866. ORPM also advises SECVA and senior officials on all matters related to regulations including coordination within VA, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Federal Register (FR), other Federal agencies, and with Congress.
