Penn Program on Regulation: Past ConferencesWednesday December 6, 2006White House Review of Regulation: Looking Back, Looking Forward Each year, federal agencies like the FAA, EPA, OSHA, and FDA issue thousands of new regulations that touch upon nearly every aspect of our lives, affecting the safety of our food, air, and water, the security of our airlines and neighborhoods, and ultimately the health of the nation's economy. For the past quarter century, in both Republican and Democratic Administrations, the White House has scrutinized every new proposal for a major federal regulation through its Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). How well has the practice of White House review of rulemaking through OIRA served the nation? How might the review process be improved so as to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of important federal regulations? Panel members will explore these and other questions about Presidential oversight of the regulatory state. On this 25th anniversary of the establishment of this often controversial form of White House regulatory review, Penn Law is convening both an academic symposium as well as the largest public gathering of the individuals who have served as OIRA Administrator, the Presidential appointee commonly referred to as the nation's “Regulatory Czar.”
