Congratulations! We’ve arrived at the final day of our Learning Journey on executive authority over regulatory review. Let’s review the highlights. What is the president’s role in the regulatory review process? Management of rulemaking and regulatory review is one of the primary ways in which the president pursues his policy agenda. As part of the review, the White House may direct agencies to revise rules that do not meet the rulemaking requirements, although the executive branch cannot violate the statutory directives of Congress. Regulatory review planning and principles under E.O. 12866 E.O. 12866 established principles to guide agencies during the rulemaking process. The order calls for all new regulations to be either required by law, necessary to interpret the law, or made necessary by compelling public need. The order also instructs agencies to assess regulatory costs and benefits, assess regulatory alternatives, use the best available information from a variety of sources, and avoid duplication and inconsistency among agencies. E.O. 12866 also established regulatory planning tools, including an annual policy meeting to coordinate agencies’ regulatory efforts, compilation of a Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, and development of regulatory plans by each agency.   Changes to the E.O. 12866 framework Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump have augmented E.O. 12866 with regulatory review directives of their own.   Thank You! Thank you for joining us on this Learning Journey! We hope that you will join us on other Learning Journeys to broaden your knowledge about the administrative state.
