Social Security has sent a set of proposed final reguluations to regulate the conduct of attorneys and others who represent claimants before the agency to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. OMB has little time to act on this. The final regulations would need to be in the Federal Register by December 20 to come into effect while Barack Obama is still President.
So I did a search of the blog and read the original post concerning these proposed regulations and 60+ comments. Are you saying that because OMB has little time to act on this these proposed regulations have little chance of being adopted? I sure hope so because the proposals, if adopted, would be a mess.
ReplyDeleteJust curious as to why the change in administration would have an impact here. Is it that with the new administration things currently in the pipeline are typically reviewed again?
ReplyDeleteI believe it has less to do with a change in the administration and more to do that a new congress will not take up old bills not passed by the prior congress unless that bill is reintroduced.
ReplyDelete@2:28, these are regulations, not legislation. Congress is not involved (unless it wants to use the Congressional Review Act).
ReplyDeleteCharles,
ReplyDeleteThe link you attach to does not bring up the proposed regs.
What about the planned moratorium on all new federal regulations that the new administration intends to implement? Would that moratorium stop these federal regulations and the program uniformity regulations?
