SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 18, 2011, the President issued
Executive Order 13563, ‘‘Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review,’’ to
ensure that Federal regulations seek
more affordable, less intrusive means to
achieve policy goals, and that agencies
give careful consideration to the benefits
and costs of those regulations. To that
end, the Executive Order requires,
among other things, that:
• Agencies propose or adopt a
regulation only upon a reasoned
determination that its benefits justify its
costs; and that agencies tailor
regulations to impose the least burden
on society, consistent with obtaining the
regulatory objectives, taking into
account, among other things, and to the
extent practicable, the costs of
cumulative regulations; and that,
consistent with applicable law, agencies
select, in choosing among alternative
regulatory approaches, those approaches
that maximize net benefits (including
potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety, and other
advantages; distributive impacts; and
equity).
• The regulatory process encourages
public participation and an open
exchange of views, with an opportunity
for the public to comment.
• Agencies coordinate, simplify, and
harmonize regulations to reduce costs
and promote certainty for businesses
and the public.
• Agencies consider low-cost
approaches that reduce burdens and
maintain flexibility.
• Regulations be guided by objective
scientific evidence.
Additionally, the Executive Order
directs agencies to consider how best to
promote retrospective analyses of
existing rules. Specifically, agencies
were required to develop a plan under
