The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the executive branch regulatory agency primarily responsible for protecting the nation’s drug products.[1] The FDA recently made highly inconsistent decisions surrounding a new drug for the prevention of pre-term birth, Makena™ (hydroxyprogesterone caproate). During a lengthy approval process, FDA made laudatory public announcements and demonstrated high programmatic preference to expedite approval of Makena by assigning orphan status[2] and granting accelerated “fast-track” approval time-frames.[3] Despite these actions, within weeks of the approval, the FDA issued aggressive public statements against the product’s efficacy and safety and made supportive comments about a non-FDA …
Regulating For The Public Health: Perchlorate Regulation Under The Safe Drinking Water Act Exceeds Statutory Authority, Mary Jones
Mary Jones
This paper recommends rethinking the statutory framework of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to provide a more robust rubric, to include a scientific and objective focus, for proper regulation. The SDWA is evaluated through the lens of upcoming perchlorate regulation due in February 2013.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates acceptable contaminant levels and decontamination processes for all public water systems, pursuant to statutory authority granted by the SDWA. Where the policy at work is admirable, the execution falls short.
Perchlorate occurs naturally, but also as a by-product to rocket fuel, firework, and other explosive constructions. Scientific …

A Negative Externality By Any Other Name: Using Emissions Caps As Models For Constraining Dead-Weight Costs Of Regulation, Scott A. Shepard
A Negative Externality By Any Other Name: Using Emissions Caps As Models For Constraining Dead-Weight Costs Of Regulation, Scott A. Shepard
Scott A. Shepard
Emissions caps work on a simple and compelling premise. Regulated entities, in the process of creating something desirable, like energy, create and expel some problematic by-product, such as carbon. They do this because they particularly reap a significant set of benefits (e.g., profits, market share, job security) from their efforts, while only diffusely and incidentally, along with the rest of society, suffering the harms caused by their emissions. These emissions, paid for primarily by the rest of society, are called negative externalities. Emissions-cap regimes are designed to make regulated entities more directly accountable for the costs of their emissions and …

Global-Regulation: Drawing Future Regulatory Tools From The Experience Of The Past, Aleksandar Nikolic, Nachshon Goltz
Global-Regulation: Drawing Future Regulatory Tools From The Experience Of The Past, Aleksandar Nikolic, Nachshon Goltz
Aleksandar Nikolic
Traditionally, theories on regulation have suggested choosing the “right” regulatory tool for a given situation of desired behavioral steering, using a broad theoretical approach of understanding the factors involved in the regulatory realm, and speculating from it toward the efficient choice. By contrast, this paper argues that creating a searchable database of regulatory case studies is better suited to help regulators find information. By searching for case studies based on the specific characteristics of the regulator's situation the regulator will be led towards finding the best regulatory solution.
Les Agences De Notation Financière Contre Les Etats : Une Lutte Globale Pour Le Droit À L’Issue Incertaine, Gregory Lewkowicz
Les Agences De Notation Financière Contre Les Etats : Une Lutte Globale Pour Le Droit À L’Issue Incertaine, Gregory Lewkowicz
Gregory Lewkowicz
Cet article propose d’examiner la montée en puissance des agences de notation financière et les réactions tout azimut des Etats pour diminuer leur rôle et leur pouvoir normatif comme un exemple paradigmatique de la formation d’une norme de droit global. Il analyse, premièrement, comment les agences de notation financière sont devenues les gardiennes d’un standard de l’allocation mondiale du crédit en même temps que d’un étalon de la bonne gouvernance publique et privée. Il étudie, deuxièmement, la contre-offensive des Etats du cœur de l’économie mondiale à l’égard des agences de notation dans le contexte des crises financières et budgétaires qui …

Legal And Regulatory Responses To Innovative Treatment, Tracey E. Chan
Legal And Regulatory Responses To Innovative Treatment, Tracey E. Chan
Tracey E Chan
Developments in medical technology, health care delivery and commercial interests in medicine have increased both the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of physicians, and doubts over the sufficiency of patient autonomy as a justification for administering innovative therapy. The legal and regulatory treatment of innovative therapy therefore becomes an important question, on which there is a current lack of consensus on a number of issues. This paper discusses recent developments in Singapore and uses them as a springboard to flesh out basic regulatory issues that arise from the deployment of innovative treatment, namely how we should distinguish …
Regulate/Mandate: Two Perspectives, John T. Valauri
Regulate/Mandate: Two Perspectives, John T. Valauri
John T. Valauri
The debate and litigation over the constitutionality of the individual mandate during the past few years has revealed an utter lack of consensus on the bench and in the academy concerning the scope of and limits on the congressional commerce power. The parties here are divided into two different camps and see questions and cases from opposing perspectives which color and frame their perception and understanding of the topic. One perspective is a dynamic take on the New Deal Settlement which sees Congress as possessing essentially unlimited legislative power over commerce. The other perspective freezes doctrine in place and accepts …
Property Rights Arrangement In Emerging Natural Resources: A Case Study Of China’S Nationalization Of Wind And Sunlight, Jianlin Chen, Jiongzhe Cui
Property Rights Arrangement In Emerging Natural Resources: A Case Study Of China’S Nationalization Of Wind And Sunlight, Jianlin Chen, Jiongzhe Cui
Jianlin Chen
The passage of the Heilongjiang Province Regulation on Climate Resources Survey and Protection (the “Regulation”) that regulates wind and solar energy generation sparked a public furor because it contains a provision that stipulates, “climate resources are owned by the state.” As a case study of this regulatory attempt to manage emerging natural resources, this Article makes the following three arguments. First, the “nationalization” provision in the Regulation is legally compatible with Chinese law that conceives of public property as state-owned property and not as property that requires public access. Second, a clear designation of the state as the manager of …
