National Security Rulemaking, Robert Knowles
National Security Rulemaking, Robert Knowles
Florida State University Law Review
Agencies performing national security functions regulate citizens’ lives in increasingly intimate ways. Yet national security rulemaking is a mystery to most Americans. Many rules—like those implementing the National Security Agency’s vast surveillance schemes—remain secret. Others are published, but the deliberations that led to them and the legal justifications for them remain hidden.
Ordinarily, these rules would undergo the Administrative Procedure Act’s notice-and-comment process, which has earned wide, if not universal, praise for advancing democratic values and enhancing agency effectiveness. But a national security exception from notice-and-comment in the APA itself, along with the overuse of classification authority, combine to insulate …
Reasoned Explanation And Irs Adjudication, Steve R. Johnson
Reasoned Explanation And Irs Adjudication, Steve R. Johnson
Scholarly Publications
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), an administrative action can be invalidated as arbitrary and capricious if the agency fails to sufficiently explain the reasons for its choices. This principle applies to agency adjudication as well as to agency rulemaking. How does this principle apply to IRS adjudications? Examining five paradigms of IRS decisionmaking, this Article first establishes that the IRS does engage in APA–style adjudication. The Article then examines tax-specific explanation requirements and asks whether a more robust explanation duty patterned on the APA should be imposed on IRS determinations. Based on a variety of legal and prudential considerations, …
Reconsidering Regulatory Uncertainty: Making A Case For Energy Storage, Amy L. Stein
Reconsidering Regulatory Uncertainty: Making A Case For Energy Storage, Amy L. Stein
Florida State University Law Review
This Article begins the complex dialogue that must take place to address the emerging technologies providing energy storage for our electricity grid. Energy storage has the capacity to be a game-changer for many facets of our grid, providing better integration of renewable energy, enhanced reliability, and reduced use of carbon-intensive fuels. Energy storage faces a number of obstacles, however, including technological, financial, and regulatory uncertainty. This Article focuses on the regulatory uncertainty, and defends the proposition that not all regulatory uncertainty is created equal. It argues for differential treatment of this uncertainty, depending on its context, scope, and source, and …

A Process Failure Theory Of Statutory Interpretation, Mark Seidenfeld
A Process Failure Theory Of Statutory Interpretation, Mark Seidenfeld
Scholarly Publications
Despite all that has been written about the choice between purposivist, intentionalist, and textualist approaches to statutory interpretation, to date the literature has not provided a justification for the common judicial practice of relying on intent-based inquiries in some cases and disavowing those approaches for textualism in others. This Article fills that void and, in doing so, lays out a new “legislative process failure” theory of statutory interpretation that has the potential to move the debate beyond a simple choice between textual and intent-based interpretation. This Article argues that Congress and the courts comprise different linguistic communities when they interpret …

Reflections On Home Concrete, Steve R. Johnson

Positive statutory law – principally the Internal Revenue Coe – is the most important source of tax rules. Despite its volume, however, the Code contains many gaps. Tax regulations promulgated by the Department of the Treasury are the principal vehicles for filling the most important gaps.
When consistent with the Code and issued pursuant to proper procedures, Treasure Regulations have the force of law. The validity of Treasury Regulations has been a major battleground in contemporary tax litigation. In the last five years alone, the issue has arisen in high profile cases such as Swallows, Mannella, Lantz, Mayo, Dominion Resources, …
Remedying Regulatory Diseconomies Of Scale, Hannah J. Wiseman
Remedying Regulatory Diseconomies Of Scale, Hannah J. Wiseman
Scholarly Publications
Rules in the modern administrative state tend to lag behind reality, and a key contributor to this stickiness – the volume of regulated activity – is largely ignored. When legislators or agency staff initially write rules to constrain the externalities of an activity, they assume that the activity will occur at a particular scale. Based on the known impacts at this scale, policymakers and regulators balance the harms of the regulated activity against the costs of regulation to industry, striking a compromise within the chosen rule or choosing to not regulate at all.
If the activity later expands from this …
