Excerpt from H. R. 830, Paperwork Reduction Act and Risk Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis for New Regulations: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on National Economic Growth, Natural Resources, and Regulatory Affairs of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress
This is quintessential command and control. It tells agencies how to do some thing - rather than specifying what is to be achieved (or, in regulatory parlance, the performance standard that is to be met). But that is one of the principal legitimate criticisms of our regulatory system - namely, that it relies too heavily on command and control rather than on performance standards. Would it not be better to set forth the goals that agencies should achieve rather than telling them precisely how to do their work?
