Following the issuance of E.O. 14094 on April 6, 2023, which amended Section 3(f)(1) of E.O. 12866, OIRA has designated regulatory actions as "Section 3(f)(1) Significant" if under that newly amended section of E.O. 12866 they are likely to result in a rule that may have an annual effect on the economy of $200 million or more (adjusted every 3 years by the Administrator of OIRA for changes in gross domestic product); or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, territorial, or tribal governments or communities. After April 6, 2023, OIRA no longer designated regulatory actions as "Economically Significant."

Between September 30, 1993, when E.O. 12866 was issued, and April 6, 2023, when E.O. 14094 was issued, OIRA designated regulatory actions as "Economically Significant" if under Section 3(f)(1) of E.O. 12866 they were likely to result in a rule that may have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or communities.
