Comments on: An agency authorized to propose rescinding other agencies’ regulations? https://www.overlawyered.com/2016/07/agency-authority-rescind-agencies-regulations/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Thu, 28 Jul 2016 06:15:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: bobby b https://www.overlawyered.com/2016/07/agency-authority-rescind-agencies-regulations/comment-page-1/#comment-339168 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 06:15:49 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=60288#comment-339168 Any such agency would have to gather and foster knowledge in all of the possible subject areas in which it might wish to tread, and so would have to be rather large, plus the experts in most any field are already IN that field, so any such agency would wither of regulatory capture very quickly in its life.

At that point, any such agency would become the excuse of choice for Congress to abdicate its job of oversight and review – “any change should come from the agency that was created to CAUSE change, not us” – and an overlying huge infrastructureal bureaucracy would need to be created to take over and administer the new process of citizen suggestions for statutory and regulatory amendments.

But another federal department would of course be a welcome addition.
