The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is reporting that it has completed action on three recent regulatory packages from the Social Security Administration. These are Privacy and Disclosure of Official Records and Information; Availability of Information and Records to the Public, Proposed Suspension of New Claims to the Federal Reviewing Official Review Level and Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Functional Limitations Due to Digestive Disorders.
I do not think any of these is controversial. I imagine that the Official Records package is housekeeping. The Digestive Disorders package is almost certainly a minor correction to recent final listings for digestive disorders, since it was approved by OMB in less than a week. The suspension of Federal Reviewing Official (FedRO) Review has been coming since Michael Astrue was appointed Commissioner of Social Security. He made it clear early on that he intended to kill the FedRO program. That will be tough for those who took the FedRO jobs, but no one else will mourn the end of the FedRO program.
