IS REGULATORY RELIEF ENOUGH?

This essay attempts to evaluate the Reagan Administration's Presidential Task Force on Regulatory Relief's endeavors. Among the actions mentioned are the NHTSA proposed delay of passive restraint requirements for large cars and the list of Actions to Help the Auto Industry (involving NHTSA and EPA programs). Results attributed to regulatory relief include NHTSA spotlighting fewer defects and EPA bringing fewer enforcement actions. The authors conclude that what is needed now is a coordinated White House-agency effort that eschews the piecemeal regulation-by-regulation approach, and relates action to a broad strategy for reform.
