The U.S. Department of Labor is inviting the public to participate in a discussion about its plan to review existing regulations to determine whether they areoutmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome. This effort is part of the federal government’s commitment to ensure that agency regulations (1) take into account costs and benefits to society; (2) are developed in a manner that allows public participation; (3) are coordinated among agencies and simplified; (4) use the least burdensome methods to achieve regulatory goals; and (5) are based on the best available science. That commitment is embodied in Executive Order 13563.
If you are interested in joining the discussion, review the Department’s Preliminary Plan for Retrospective Analysis of Existing Rules, and then go to the Department’s interactive web page for discussion of DOL regulations.
