The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) should issue recommendations encouraging the government to set out a process for continuous retrospective review of rules, according to comments submitted by Jim Tozzi, former regulatory czar in the Reagan White House and a public member of ACUS. Tozzi suggests that to spur reviews: OMB insert into select rules a commitment by the agency to conduct retrospective review; public stakeholders be allowed to file Requests for Correction under the Data Quality Act; and OMB establish a publicly accessible docket on which regulated entities and the public can report costs of compliance or comments.
