This week in the world of regulation:
Last week, 71 new final regulations were published in the
Federal Register. There were 83 new final rules the previous week.
That’s the equivalent of a new regulation every two hours
and 22 minutes — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
All in all, 2,314 final rules have been published in the Federal
Register this year.
·
If this keeps up, the total tally for 2013 will
be 3,704 new final rules.
·
Last week, 1,414 new pages were added to the
2013 Federal Register, for a total of 50,130 pages.
·
At its current pace, the 2013 Federal
Register will run 78,821 pages, which would be good for fifth all time. The
current record is 81,405 pages, set in 2010. Three of the top four years have
occurred since 2008.
·
Rules are called “economically significant” if
they have costs of $100 million or more in a given year. No such rules were
published last week, for a total of 22 so far in 2013.
·
The total estimated compliance costs of this
year’s economically significant regulations ranges from $5.78 billion to $10.39
billion.
·
So far, 203 final rules that meet the broader
definition of “significant” have been published in 2013.
·
So far this year, 432 final rules affect small
business; 55 of them are significant rules.
