SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President
Obama issued Executive Order 13563,
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,’’ in January 2011, directing all
federal agencies to review current
regulations to identify ways to
streamline or eliminate unnecessary,
obsolete, or burdensome regulations.
Among other things, Executive Order
13563 instructed agencies to ‘‘consider
costs and reduce burdens for American
businesses and consumers when
developing rules; expand opportunities
for public participation and public
comment; simplify rules; promote
freedom of choice; and ensure that
regulations are driven by real science.’’
On May 10, 2012, the President issued
a second Executive Order on
retrospective review (Executive Order
13610, ‘‘Identifying and Reducing
Regulatory Burdens’’), which directs
agencies ‘‘to promote public
participation in retrospective review, to
modernize our regulatory system, and to
institutionalize regular assessment of
significant regulations.’’ This Executive
Order calls for agencies to invite public
suggestions about regulations in need of
retrospective review and appropriate
modifications to those regulations; to
prioritize those reforms that promise
significant quantifiable savings to the
American public; and to regularly report
to the public on progress and timelines.
In response to Executive Order 13563,
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) developed and sought
comment on its Preliminary Plan for
Retrospective Review of Existing
Regulations, which identified a
preliminary list of regulations that
would be appropriate for review. See 76
FR 32330 (June 6, 2011). HHS has made
significant progress on its retrospective
review activities in the ensuing two
years. To date, HHS has published 26
proposed rules and 29 final rules related
to retrospective review, in addition to
completing substantive review of
initiatives where agencies ultimately
decided not to make regulatory changes.
More information on HHS’s
retrospective review activities is
available at https://www.HHS.gov/
RetrospectiveReview.
In addition, the Department has
developed a Public Participation Task
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Force to make Department-wide
recommendations for how to increase
public participation in the regulatory
process. Through the leadership of this
task force, the Department has
developed a centralized Web page to
find information on regulations
published by HHS agencies (https://
www.HHS.gov/Regulations), established
a retrospective review comment form for
the public to submit suggestions, and
encouraged each HHS agency to develop
a public participation plan tailored to
the needs of its programmatic mission
and interested stakeholder groups.
HHS now seeks suggestions from the
public regarding new ideas for our next
phase of retrospective review. We
welcome your suggestions regarding
rules, or types of rules, that the
Department should consider reviewing
to:
D Promote economic growth,
innovation, competitiveness, and job
creation;
D Reduce regulatory and
administration burdens;
D Achieve better results by modifying,
streamlining, expanding, or eliminating
rules when the costs or benefits are
greater than originally anticipated;
D Eliminate rules that are outdated,
overtaken by new technology or
information, or unnecessary for other
reasons; or
D Update rules to complement other
federal agency rules or international
standards where crosscutting
collaboration can reduce administration
or regulatory burdens.

Executive Secretary.
