B-209. 5 October 1998, Public Law 105-270--Federal Activities
Inventory Reform Act. Requires the head of each executive agency to
annually submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a list of their functions that, in the judgment of the agency,
are not inherently governmental functions. The entry for each
activity on the list is to include: (1) the fiscal year for which the
activity first appeared on a list prepared under this Act; (2) the
number of full-time employees (or its equivalent) that are necessary
for the performance of the activity by a Federal Government source;
and (3) the name of a Federal Government employee responsible for the
activity from whom additional information about the activity may be
obtained. Directs the OMB Director to review each list and consult
with the agency regarding the content of the final list for that
fiscal year. The agency must then transmit a copy of the list to
Congress and make the list available to the public. After the notice
of public availability of a list is published by OMB, each time the
agency considers contracting with a private sector source for the
performance of such an activity, it must use a competitive process to
select the source (except as may otherwise be provided in other laws,
Executive Orders, regulations, or any executive branch circular
setting forth requirements or guidance that is issued by competent
executive authority).
