Executive Order 13563, “Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.” Executive Order 13563 requires U.S. regulators, to the extent permitted by law, to select approaches that maximize net benefits; choose the least burdensome alternative; increase public participation in the rulemaking process; design rules that are simpler and more flexible, and that provide freedom of choice; and base regulations on sound science. Executive Order 13563 also calls for an ambitious, government-wide “lookback” at existing rules, with the central goal of eliminating outdated requirements and unjustified costs.

Today, President Obama has built on Executive Order 13563 by signing a historic Executive Order on Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation. The new Executive Order will promote American exports, economic growth, and job creation by helping to eliminate unnecessary regulatory differences between the United States and other countries and by making sure that we do not create new ones.

The New Executive Order http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/05/01/executive-order-promoting-international-regulatory-cooperation

EXECUTIVE ORDER - - - - - - - PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL REGULATORY COOPERATION

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote international regulatory cooperation, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), states that our regulatory system must protect public health, welfare, safety, and our environment while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation. In an increasingly global economy, international regulatory cooperation, consistent with domestic law and prerogatives and U.S. trade policy, can be an important means of promoting the goals of Executive Order 13563.

The regulatory approaches taken by foreign governments may differ from those taken by U.S. regulatory agencies to address similar issues. In some cases, the differences between the regulatory approaches of U.S. agencies and those of their foreign counterparts might not be necessary and might impair the ability of American businesses to export and compete internationally. In meeting shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security, environmental, and other issues, international regulatory cooperation can identify approaches that are at least as protective as those that are or would be adopted in the absence of such cooperation. International regulatory cooperation can also reduce, eliminate, or prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements.

Sec. 2. Coordination of International Regulatory Cooperation. (a) The Regulatory Working Group (Working Group) established by Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993 (Regulatory Planning and Review), which was reaffirmed by Executive Order 13563, shall, as appropriate: (i) serve as a forum to discuss, coordinate, and develop a common understanding among agencies of U.S. Government positions and priorities with respect to: (A) international regulatory cooperation activities that are reasonably anticipated to lead to significant regulatory actions; (B) efforts across the Federal Government to support significant, cross-cutting international regulatory cooperation activities, such as the work of regulatory cooperation councils; and

(C) the promotion of good regulatory practices internationally, as well as the promotion of U.S. regulatory approaches, as appropriate; and

(ii) examine, among other things:

(A) appropriate strategies for engaging in the development of regulatory approaches through international regulatory cooperation, particularly in emerging technology areas, when consistent with section 1 of this order;

(B) best practices for international regulatory cooperation with respect to regulatory development, and, where appropriate, information exchange and other regulatory tools; and

(C) factors that agencies should take into account when determining whether and how to consider other regulatory approaches under section 3(d) of this order.

(b) As Chair of the Working Group, the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall convene the Working Group as necessary to discuss international regulatory cooperation issues as described above, and the Working Group shall include a representative from the Office of the United States Trade Representative and, as appropriate, representatives from other agencies and offices.

(c) The activities of the Working Group, consistent with law, shall not duplicate the efforts of existing interagency bodies and coordination mechanisms. The Working Group shall consult with existing interagency bodies when appropriate.

(d) To inform its discussions, and pursuant to section 4 of Executive Order 12866, the Working Group may commission analytical reports and studies by OIRA, the Administrative Conference of the United States, or any other relevant agency, and the Administrator of OIRA may solicit input, from time to time, from representatives of business, nongovernmental organizations, and the public.

(e) The Working Group shall develop and issue guidelines on the applicability and implementation of sections 2 through 4 of this order.

(f) For purposes of this order, the Working Group shall operate by consensus.

Sec. 3. Responsibilities of Federal Agencies. To the extent permitted by law, and consistent with the principles and requirements of Executive Order 13563 and Executive Order 12866, each agency shall:

(a) if required to submit a Regulatory Plan pursuant to Executive Order 12866, include in that plan a summary of its international regulatory cooperation activities that are reasonably anticipated to lead to significant regulations, with an explanation of how these activities advance the purposes of Executive Order 13563 and this order;

(b) ensure that significant regulations that the agency identifies as having significant international impacts are designated as such in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, on RegInfo.gov, and on Regulations.gov;

(c) in selecting which regulations to include in its retrospective review plan, as required by Executive Order 13563, consider:

(i) reforms to existing significant regulations that address unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements between the United States and its major trading partners, consistent with section 1 of this order, when stakeholders provide adequate information to the agency establishing that the differences are unnecessary; and

(ii) such reforms in other circumstances as the agency deems appropriate; and

(d) for significant regulations that the agency identifies as having significant international impacts, consider, to the extent feasible, appropriate, and consistent with law, any regulatory approaches by a foreign government that the United States has agreed to consider under a regulatory cooperation council work plan.

Sec. 4. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) "Agency" means any authority of the United States that is an "agency" under 44 U.S.C. 3502(1), other than those considered to be independent regulatory agencies, as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5).

(b) "International impact" is a direct effect that a proposed or final regulation is expected to have on international trade and investment, or that otherwise may be of significant interest to the trading partners of the United States.

(c) "International regulatory cooperation" refers to a bilateral, regional, or multilateral process, other than processes that are covered by section 6(a)(ii), (iii), and (v) of this order, in which national governments engage in various forms of collaboration and communication with respect to regulations, in particular a process that is reasonably anticipated to lead to the development of significant regulations.

(d) "Regulation" shall have the same meaning as "regulation" or "rule" in section 3(d) of Executive Order 12866.

(e) "Significant regulation" is a proposed or final regulation that constitutes a significant regulatory action.

(f) "Significant regulatory action" shall have the same meaning as in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866.

Sec. 5. Independent Agencies. Independent regulatory agencies are encouraged to comply with the provisions of this order.

Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to a department or agency, or the head thereof;

(ii) the coordination and development of international trade policy and negotiations pursuant to section 411 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2451) and section 141 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2171);

(iii) international trade activities undertaken pursuant to section 3 of the Act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1512), subtitle C of the Export Enhancement Act of 1988, as amended (15 U.S.C. 4721 et seq.), and Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2171 note);

(iv) the authorization process for the negotiation and conclusion of international agreements pursuant to 1 U.S.C. 112b(c) and its implementing regulations (22 C.F.R. 181.4) and implementing procedures (11 FAM 720);

(v) activities in connection with subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31 of the United States Code, title 26 of the United States Code, or Public Law 111-203 and other laws relating to financial regulation; or

(vi) the functions of the Director of OMB relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

INDEED.

However, I consider OThuga’s demonization, ruthlessness, lying, hatred, meanness etc. to be significantly worse than Mitt’s.

The advance of a One World Government and a North American Union
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2012/05/advance-of-one-world-government-and.html

The paragraphs below are quotes from this article:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304811304577369934135888006.html

Excerpt:
Here’s the advancing of the North American union:

More generally, President Obama has worked closely with his Canadian and Mexican counterparts to create High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Councils with both countries. The councils are developing and implementing plans to eliminate or prevent the creation of unnecessary burdens on cross-border trade, streamline regulatory requirements, and promote greater certainty for the general public and for businesses in the regulation of food, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology and other areas.

The U.S. and Canada have already agreed to harmonize their rules with respect to fuel economy, building on a long history of collaboration on national emission standards for new vehicles. This step will avoid divergent requirements and unnecessary costs on both automobile companies and consumers.

Here’s the advance of the One World government:

The U.S. is also working closely with the European Union to eliminate unnecessary differences in U.S.-European regulatory requirements. Last February, the Obama administration announced an agreement with the EU under which organic products certified as such in Europe or in the U.S. may be sold as “organic” in either jurisdiction. This is not just a victory for those who grow and eat organic broccoli. The trans-Atlantic partnership, involving the two largest organic food producers in the world, will help support jobs in the years to come.

If there ever is a move to get rid of the U.S. dollar for an international currency of some kind, the American people will need to resist it with all of their might.

Oh, that is rich. The American people resist and Congress does what it always does...ignore the protests and make up Quisling reasons to proceed anyway while saying, "Trust us, we know that in the long run it'll be for the good of America".

[philman_36]

A few years ago, the "Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America" (SPP) that was being promoted by President George W. Bush started to generate quite a bit of negative publicity. That caused those seeking to integrate the economies of North America to back off for a little while.

The socialists see this as an opportunity to get over 300 million people that they can mold together in a giant social experiment.
History shows that they've already performed their social experiment several times.
Headstones mark their testing ground.

@THE AMERICAS AND THE 21ST CENTURY Air Date: April 29, 1997
Guest: Robert Pastor, Director, Latin American and Caribbean Program, The Carter Center So we imagine talking about those issues, but our major focus on democratization will be now to shift to what we consider the second generation issues. What is interesting about the second generation issues which relate to the deepening of democratization, is that the problems are shared as is the social agenda for all the countries in the hemisphere, and the problem, the fundamental problem is how do you cleanse the electoral process of the poisonous effect of money. Now on an issue like that, I'm afraid the U.S. does not have much to teach the Latin America and the Caribbean, but it may have something to learn. The nature of campaign finance, of access to the media, these are issues in which all of the countries in the hemisphere are struggling for the best models, and we hope that some of those models will be discussed and that the results will have a big influence on the United Sates as well as those countries that have not yet found a way to deal with this issue.

“The United States and Canada released the United States-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Joint Action Plan last December. In February, we announced the United States-Mexico High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Council (HLRCC) Work Plan.”

Funny, I don’t recall the Imperial Senate ratifying this....

...."When it comes to Barack Obama, one of the most important things to understand is that he is a committed globalist.... He firmly believes that more "global governance" (the elite don't like to use the term "global government") will make the world a much better place."...

Romney is equally on par with Obama in this..with his own "footsoldiers" carrying that message for him in arenas Internationally....there is no difference among these two....., it really does not matter which one of them wins. Either one of them will do the bidding of the New World Order.

Romney.....“I support Cap-and-Trade on a 'global basis' but not the USA going alone. I want to do it with other nations involved and on a 'global scale'.”.....

Note:...Under Mitt Romney as governor, Massachusetts became the Very First State to pass a law to regulate carbon emissions.

Globalism is tearing our economy apart more every day, if Romney is elected the globalist agenda will only 'accelerate'.

Thanks for the ping Lucy...

Most Americans have absolutely no idea how far plans to integrate the United States, Canada and Mexico have advanced.

This is why the borders will NOT be secured...nor the immigration issues resolved, and why none of the Presidents past or in the future will act on the borders.

The Integration of these three nations will be another type of Europe. ...and has been going on for along time now..and not just under Obama.

Every decision a Pres. and Congress does is 'centered' on how much and if that decision will affect this integration plan of these three nations....also why Mexico has so many organizations and Attorneys settled in our nation...and the push for Mexican representation in our political offices.

IIRC something called ISO (International Standards Organization) seemingly harmless until it grew in scope, and demands. I first encountered it in the International Shipping Industry when it started up in the seventies, and set off warning bells.

I’ve seen many a company spend a fortune in qualifying for ISO status only to gain it, and find it wasn’t worth it, or was restrictive of their business, and drop out.

This “Executive” Order is just another way for Obama to say the following:

“America has no laws that I can’t break.

Just look at me, ALL of my personal documents are forged or “missing,” (wink, wink), I went to Occidental College in California as a Foreign Student, never graduated from Harvard, never took the Lawyers Bar exam, and here I am!

Your “Constitution” hasn’t been enforced in YEARS!

If I can do it, anybody in the World can rule you! It was REALLY easy!

Besides, with my Nobel Peace Prize in hand, I have the moral authority to send a drone to assassinate anyone in the World who objects to my Marxist vision of the World. Nobody will dare to stop me. Deal with it!

You Americans really are a stupid bunch of sorry people.”

BTW, I’ll bet the Liberal Agenda Media (LAM) will ask him: “What was your Golf score today?”
