SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Executive Order 13563 directs each federal agency to consider ``how 
best to promote retrospective analysis of rules that may be outmoded, 
ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome.'' The EO calls on 
every agency to develop ``a preliminary plan, consistent with law and 
its resources and regulatory priorities, under which the agency will 
periodically review its existing significant regulations to determine 
whether such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded or 
repealed to make the agency's regulatory program more effective and or 
less burdensome in achieving its regulatory objectives.''

B. Procedures

    Comments on Executive Order 13563 can be posted on a blog located 
on the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov/improvingregulations. To view
