Federal agency use of audited self-regulation as a regulatory technique
Article Abstract:
The use of audited self-regulation by entities that fall under the regulation of a federal agency can be effective in many cases. This suggests that regulatory reform should broaden the power of regulatory agencies to allow self-regulation. Such self-regulation would necessarily need to meet established guidelines, but could effectively reduce the cost of government while increasing regulatory compliance. Existing self-regulatory schemes and their potential uses are discussed.

Making policy through the waiver of regulations at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Article Abstract:
Administrative agencies should be aware that the granting of waivers and exceptions for certain regulations can be done without undermining the Rule of Law. Often, strict adherence to a regulation undermines the Rule of Law when the regulation is applied in an area it was not intended to affect. Furthermore, as agency goals change, existing regulations may hinder overall policy concerns. The granting of waivers by FERC and implications for other agencies are discussed.
