OMB Watch is a nonprofit research and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting government accountability, citizen participation in public policy decisions, and the use of fiscal and regulatory policy to serve the public interest. The OMB Watch Information and Access Program focuses on defending and advancing the public's right to know. This program tracks and analyzes US policies that affect the public's right to know and works to improve them, with the goal of increasing the quality of, access to, and use of government information. The Working Group on Community Right-to-Know has joined OMB Watch as a project focused on outreach to state and local groups. In 1983 OMB Watch launched Right-to-Know Network (RTK NET - www.rtknet.org), an online service to providing environmental data to communities, including US Toxics Release Inventory reports in user-friendly formats. With news, archive and analysis of legislative proposals and judicial decisions.
