David Cay Johnston: “Here is what would happen. Within 1 year after the passage of this act, the head of each of the agencies shall look at…”

“Here is what would happen. Within 1 year after the passage of this act, the head of each of the agencies shall look at all the rules under their supervision, determine which ones need to be looked at, and therefore come up with a preliminary schedule. That schedule will be published a year afterward. If this rule is on that schedule, then DuPont, since they are from Delaware--that is the only reason I use them--would not have to take further action because it is going to be reexamined. If it is not on the schedule and they want it reexamined, then they would petition. Their burden is to show that there is a substantial likelihood that the rule would not be able to reach, to satisfy the requirements of section 624.”
