By holding federal agencies accountable, the National Ombudsman effectively reduces unnecessary regulatory burdens.

Per statute, the National Ombudsman ensures the voices of small businesses, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations are heard at the highest levels of federal government. The Office of the National Ombudsman reports annually to Congress on federal agency responsiveness to comments.
