Description
Summary:With the election of Pres Barack Obama, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) watchers have anxiously awaited his take on the regulatory review process and the controversial tool of cost-benefit analysis. Ten days into the new Administration, Pres Obama tasked his Director of OMB with producing, within 100 days, recommendations for a new executive order on regulatory review. The President also asked for suggestions regarding some of the most contentious aspects of regulatory review during the George W. Bush Administration--the relationship of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs with executive agencies and the role of cost-benefit analysis. Boutrous discusses the recent development reports on the likely future of regulatory review and cost-benefit analysis under the Obama administration.
