This week in the world of regulation:
It was a three-day work week because of New Year’s celebrations, but agencies still managed to publish 28 new final rules. This is down from 54 rules the previous week, which was shortened by Christmas. That’s the equivalent of a new regulation precisely every six hours — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All in all, 28 final rules have been published in the Federal Register this year. If this keeps up, the total tally for 2013 will be 2,333 new final rules. Last week, 850 new pages were added to the 2013 Federal Register, for a total of 76,434 pages. At its current pace, the 2013 Federal Register will run 70,834 pages. Rules are called “economically significant” if they impose costs of $100 million or more in a given year. No such rules have been published so far in 2013.
