Executive Order--Regulation and Independent Regulatory Agencies

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

Section 1. Policy. (a) Wise regulatory decisions depend on public participation and on careful analysis of the likely consequences of regulation. Such decisions are informed and improved by allowing interested members of the public to have a meaningful opportunity to participate in rulemaking. To the extent permitted by law, such decisions should be made only after consideration of their costs and benefits (both quantitative and qualitative).

(b) Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," directed to executive agencies, was meant to produce a regulatory system that protects "public health, welfare, safety, and our environment while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation." Independent regulatory agencies, no less than executive agencies, should promote that goal.

(c) Executive Order 13563 set out general requirements directed to executive agencies concerning public participation, integration and innovation, flexible approaches, and science. To the extent permitted by law, independent regulatory agencies should comply with these provisions as well.

Sec. 2. Retrospective Analyses of Existing Rules. (a) To facilitate the periodic review of existing significant regulations, independent regulatory agencies should consider how best to promote retrospective analysis of rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned. Such retrospective analyses, including supporting data and evaluations, should be released online whenever possible.

(b) Within 120 days of the date of this order, each independent regulatory agency should develop and release to the public a plan, consistent with law and reflecting its resources and regulatory priorities and processes, under which the agency will periodically review its existing significant regulations to determine whether any such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed so as to make the agency's regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in achieving the regulatory objectives.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) For purposes of this order, "executive agency" shall have the meaning set forth for the term "agency" in section 3(b) of Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, and "independent regulatory agency" shall have the meaning set forth in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5).

(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

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

(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

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

(d) 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.

More regulation equals more government control over our lives.

Someone suggested to me that this is a prerequisite to changing the U.S.Constitution.

I don't know about that. It just seems to be an opening for more interference in our lives by intrusive government.

Considering that this man wipes his posterior with the Constitution for fun, we can pretty much start laughing here.

He shall take good care that the laws be faithfully executed, and then turns around and says we need immigration law reform.

It's like saying, "You can stop using dishonest excuses for demanding bribes (engineering, extra materials, more fees required), if you want to. "Interested members of the public" have been local, government-employed regulators and local, established corporations for a long time.

That's a nice gesture, but the eventual shutdown and repudiation of debts will take care of the problem of crony socialist capitalism.

This doesn’t read like something designed to change the constitution. I reads like just another PR gimmick by Obama in the hopes of fooling voters into thinking he’s a moderate instead of a Democrat hack.

Does anybody really understand this? Can the thoughts here be expressed in English that Joe Mechanic can understand?

This reminds me of the EO nobama put out sealing his records. Lots of words, but completely nonunderstandable by folks like us.

This 6-minute video is from a retired US Army Lt. General and Green Beret. He provides vital information that has come as a result of decades in military service.

Watch this bone chilling video and then forward to everyone you know.

Well, it’s not the OLD regulations that are that bad...we’ve already learned to somewhat tolerate those.

It’s the NEW ones, and the ones on the horizon.

He’s telling every agency to review every regulation and come up with a plan within 120 days.

A plan on what regulations to change and how long it will take to change them. He wants to rewrite the entire govt before he leaves office. Very very dangerous.

So independent regulatory agencies should take EPA's destruction of the coal fired electric industry as an example of promoting economic growth and job creation.

We were always at war with Eastasia.

What's interesting, though, is the unified aspect of this move. Regulations are constantly being rewritten and revised. But instead of following this piecemeal, ongoing process, he's setting up a line for all of the agencies to be set to, and then from there, move forward in a unified mass with his approved changes.

It creates an organized focus of the entire federal government in a certain political direction (apparently based upon the use of ecofascism as a regulatory justification).

But for auditing purposes, it also sets a point after which all of this is implemented, and before which, it was not.

Unusual to say the least.

It creates an organized focus of the entire federal government in a certain 'political direction'..... (apparently based upon the use of ecofascism as a regulatory justification).

Why do I get a very uncomfortable sense about this?........and what's with all his Executive orders? Well, we know he thinks he's King...but he's certainly slithering along with his agenda..and confusing it enough to make certain whatever he's planning it will go thru without resistance.

Have any of our representatives commented about this yet?
