	GAO Report on FAA Rulemaking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When we look at real rulemaking in Government, it seems we first have to come to grips with the fact that we are only bringing notions of efficiency to State and local and the Federal Government for the first time in the last decade or so in the first place.
		Rulemaking is perhaps the most labor intensive part of what the Government does, not only because it has to do with itself, but the rule has to hear from all sides, it has to follow the APA, the Administrative Procedures Act.
		Because the rulemaking process takes too long, there is a perception within industry that the efforts are made to try to circumvent the rulemaking process through advisory circulars and internal guidance, through service bulletins and through airworthiness directives.

		Congress approved regulatory negotiation in the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990, which was permanently reauthorized in 1996.
		An NPR report issued in September 1993 said negotiated rulemaking could increase innovations in the substance of regulations and foster increased rates of compliance between regulated parties and federal agencies.
		In 13 of the 67 negotiated rulemakings that had been announced by the end of 1996, the agency abandoned the formal negotiated process before any consensus was reached--a 20 percent failure rate.

	Rulemaking Management System - Congressional Interest Status Report
		Abstract: This rulemaking implements a congressional mandate of the Airport and Airway Safety Act of 1987 that the Department initiate rulemaking by April 28, 1988, to consider requiring all air carrier aircraft to replace existing seats with new designs that would be more crashworthy.
		Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the pilot rest and duty requirements for pilots by ensuring they receive adequate rest opportunities while assigned to reserve status and by preventing lengthy duty periods that could contribute to acute and cumulative fatigue.
		The rulemaking would propose a definition of "rest period." FAA earlier had planned to publish an SNPRM by 3/31/02.

		Initiation of Rulemaking The impetus for a rulemaking \2\ may come from any one of several sources; Congressional directive; internal LSC initiative (Board or Committee members and/or staff); or a formal request from a member of the regulated community or general public.
		If the Board decides to undertake a rulemaking, notice that a rulemaking proceeding has begun will be posted on the LSC website, indicating the subject matter of the rulemaking and whether the rulemaking will be accomplished through Notice and Comment, including whether the Corporation anticipates holding a Rulemaking Workshop, or be Negotiated.
		LSC intends to use negotiated rulemaking in instances in which LSC believes that the Notice and Comment process, including the use of Rulemaking Workshops, will not suffice and that the Negotiated Rulemaking process is necessary to properly address complex and/or controversial issues posed by the rulemaking.

		This action is being taken to simplify the regulations, respond to petitions for rulemaking, address recommendations of the National Transportation Safety Board, and enhance the safe transportation of hazardous materials in cylinders.
		No notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) has preceded this final rule because, in light of RSPA's lack of discretion concerning the regulation of hazardous substances under the HMR, RSPA finds that under the Administrative Procedure Act notice would serve no purpose and thus is unnecessary.

	Cary Coglianese, Assessing Consensus: The Promise And Performance Of Negotiated Rulemaking, 46 Duke L. J. 1255 (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The average negotiated rulemaking takes a little less than two and a half years to complete, from the time the agency announces its intent to form a negotiated rulemaking committee to the time the final rule is published (see Table 3).
		In other words, the nonrandom assignment of rules to negotiated rulemaking introduces the possibility that the rules chosen for negotiated rulemaking were ones that already had either a greater or lesser need for time, or a greater or lesser propensity to be litigated, at least when compared with the average rule implemented through informal rulemaking.
		Since rulemaking time and the prospects for litigation increase with the overall significance of EPA rules, it is helpful to determine whether the findings reported in Part II derive from a bias in the level of significance of the rules selected for negotiated rulemaking.

	SSRN-The Electronic Revolution in Rulemaking by Beth Noveck
		Informal rulemaking is about to be transformed by the silent revolution of E-Government, the widespread incorporation of web-based technology in the public sector.
		Having to translate rulemaking into a set of software specifications confronts the question of how to embed the desired practices for participation into the design of software.
		This design-centered approach has the potential to ground the law of rulemaking in actual practice and to anchor that practice in the theory of participatory democracy and collective action.

	SSRN-Assessing the Advocacy of Negotiated Rulemaking: A Response to Philip Harter by Cary Coglianese
		Harter criticized the way I measured the length of the rulemaking process, claimed that I failed to appreciate differences in litigation, and suggested that my results did not matter in any case since negotiated rulemaking has resulted in rules that are demonstrably better than rules developed through conventional regulatory practices.
		The absence of support for Harter's criticisms, like the absence of support for the claims made by other advocates of negotiated rulemaking over the years, serves only to underscore the conclusion of my original research that the promises made for negotiated rulemaking remain unfulfilled.
