Latest federal regulatory agenda is full...of delays
The government’s regulatory road is long, with many a winding curve – as shown anew in the fall regulatory agenda released last week by the Obama administration. Many of the regulations included have been in the works for years due to a variety of factors: a lengthy rule-making process, industry opposition, and, in some cases, delays by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The federal government is statutorily required to release its rule-making plans for the upcoming 12 months every spring and fall.
