Moving Forward With Regulatory Lookback, Cary Coglianese Jan 2013

Moving Forward With Regulatory Lookback, Cary Coglianese

All Faculty Scholarship

President Obama has rightly called on government agencies to establish ongoing routines for reviewing existing regulations to determine if they need modification or repeal.
