Weidenbaum Center forum to examine executive regulatory reviewBy Gerry Everding Depending on whom you ask, federal regulations cost the American economy roughly $1 trillion a year. In recent months, a controversial executive branch office charged with reviewing costs and benefits of federal legislation has quietly stepped up efforts to prevent the implementation of rules and regulations it deems to be overly burdensome and costly to the economy. Is the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) using this regulatory review program to protect the economic interests of American taxpayers, or is cost-benefit analysis just a thinly veiled excuse to stall the progress of politically unpopular legislation? That question will be at the heart of a national forum of leading regulatory experts to be held from 7:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Dec. 17 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Titled "Executive Regulatory Review: Surveying the Record, Making it Work," the forum is sponsored by the University's Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government, and Public Policy. |
