SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 18, 2011, President Obama 

issued Executive Order 13563, 

‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory 

Review.’’ The Order explains the 

Administration’s goal of creating a 

regulatory system that protects ‘‘public 

health, welfare, safety, and our 

environment while promoting economic 

growth, innovation, competitiveness, 

and job creation’’ while using ‘‘the best, 

most innovative, and least burdensome 

tools to achieve regulatory ends.’’ The 

Executive Order requires agencies to 

develop and submit a preliminary plan 

within 120 days from the January 18 

issuance date that explains how each 

agency will review existing significant 

regulations to identify whether any 

regulations may be made more effective 

or less burdensome. 

On May 26, 2011, the Department 

published its preliminary plan (http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/21stcenturygov/ 

actions/21st-century-regulatory-system). 

To ensure that the plan meets the 

objectives of the Executive Order and to 

benefit from the expertise of the 

Department’s regulated communities, 

academia and the public, the 

Department is now requesting public 

comments on the preliminary plan. 

To facilitate receipt of public 

comments, the Department has 

established an Internet portal 

specifically designed to capture your 

input and suggestions, http:// 

dolregs.ideascale.com. By visiting the 

portal, you can review the Department’s 

preliminary plan; provide input; and 

review suggestions and comments 

submitted by other interested parties. 

The Department is specifically seeking 

comments in the following areas: 

• Rules currently under consideration 

for retrospective analysis. 

• Development of a strong, ongoing 

culture of retrospective analysis and 

strengthening internal review expertise. 

• Factors and processes that will be 

used in setting priorities. 

• Plans for retrospective analysis, 

revisiting and revising rules and 

coordinating with other Federal 

agencies. 

• Metrics used to evaluate 

regulations, ensuring availability of data 

and incorporation of experimental 

design. 

The portal will be open to receive 

comments from June 2, 2011 through 

July 1, 2011. 

When providing input, the 

Department requests that commenters 

provide as much detail as possible and 

provide empirical evidence and data to 

support responses, whenever possible. 

The Department will consider public 

comments as it finalizes its plan for 

Retrospective Analysis of Existing 

Rules. The Department is issuing this 

request solely to seek useful information 

as it develops its review plan. While 

responses to this request do not bind the 

Department to any further actions 

related to the response, all submissions 

will be made available to the public on 

http://dolregs.ideascale.com.
