What is a significant rule?

Significant regulatory action is a term used to describe an agency rule that has had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. As part of its role in the regulatory review process, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) determines which rules meet this definition.

    Summary of provisions

    The following is a summary of the provisions from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:[1]

    “

    The Agencies achieve their missions in part through the administration of Federal financial assistance. Funds are distributed via a wide range of social service programs, including the following:

    • Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (“WIOA”) Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs: DOL's Employment and Training Administration provides job search assistance and training to adult and dislocated workers through State formula grants authorized under WIOA, Public Law 113–128, 128 Stat. 1425. This funding area includes individualized training accounts through which program participants can choose from a statewide list of providers to access training.

    • Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program:This grant program, administered by DOL's Veterans' Employment and Training Service, provides services that assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force and supports the development of delivery systems that address the complex problems facing homeless veterans.

    • Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Programs: HHS's Office of Family Assistance competitively awards Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood grants to States, local governments, Tribal entities, and community-based organizations (both for profit and not-for-profit, including faith-based) that help participants build and sustain healthy relationships and marriages and strengthen positive father-child interaction.

    • Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers:This program, administered by ED's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps children meet State and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and provides literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

    • Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (“GEAR UP”): Under the GEAR UP program, ED's Office of Postsecondary Education awards discretionary grants to States and partnerships of local educational agencies and institutions of higher education, which may also include community organizations or entities as additional partners, to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.

    • Citizenship and Integration Grant Program: Administered by DHS's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program has helped more than 300,000 lawful permanent residents (“LPRs”) prepare for U.S. citizenship. See USCIS, Fiscal Year 2023 Citizenship & Integration Grant Program (Sept. 28, 2023), https://www.uscis.gov/​citizenship-resource-center/​civic-integration/​fiscal-year-2023-citizenship-and-integration-grant-program. The program assists nonprofit organizations in providing citizenship instruction and application assistance to LPRs.

    • VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program: VA's Homeless Programs Office administers this program, which awards grants to community organizations providing services to veterans experiencing homelessness to ensure the availability of supportive housing and services, with the goal of helping homeless veterans achieve residential stability.

    • Supportive Services for Veteran Families:This program, also administered by VA's Homeless Programs Office, awards grants to selected private nonprofit organizations and consumer cooperatives to assist very low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. Grantees provide a range of supportive services to eligible veteran families that are designed to promote housing stability.

    Under these and other federally funded social service programs, Federal funds are not distributed directly to beneficiaries, but rather are distributed to recipients—for example, State and local governments, school districts, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, and other entities—that use the Federal funds to provide services to the programs' intended beneficiaries. This final rule generally refers to these recipients as “providers” or “grantees,” and to those whom they serve, either directly or through subrecipients, as “beneficiaries.” In administering federally funded social service programs, providers must comply both with applicable Federal law and with the terms and conditions under which they receive Federal funding from the Agencies. For example, applicants for Federal funds through the Office of Justice Programs at DOJ must certify that in administering any Federal award they will comply with all relevant Federal civil rights and nondiscrimination laws.[2]

    Significant impact

    See also: Significant regulatory action

    Executive Order 12866, issued by President Bill Clinton (D) in 1993, directed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to determine which agency rules qualify as significant rules and thus are subject to OMB review.

    Significant rules have had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. Executive Order 12866 further defined an economically significant rule as a significant rule with an associated economic impact of $100 million or more. Executive Order 14094, issued by President Joe Biden (D) on April 6, 2023, made changes to Executive Order 12866, including referring to economically significant rules as section 3(f)(1) significant rules and raising the monetary threshold for economic significance to $200 million or more.[1]


    The text of the Partnerships With Faith-Based and Neighborhood Organizations rule states that OMB deemed this rule significant, but not economically significant:

    “

    OIRA has determined that this final rule is a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094.[2]
