Attention:
Ms. Pauline Hildebrandt i
Dear Chairman Roth:
The Commission has reviewed S.
400, the " Regulatory Conflicts Elimination Act of 1981."
We support the objectives of the i
bill to reduce unnecessary duplication and conflict among Federal rules and regulations.
However, we recommend that the legis)ative record for S.
400 he clarified in the following respects.
O the OMB analysis and report required by section 4 of the bill is advisory, and an independent agency may disagree with any finding, conclusion, or recommendation in the report concerning that agency's rules or regulations, o
the Prasident may not make recommendations as to any duplication or conflict whj ;h concerns a rule or regulation of an independent agency without the concurrence of
[
that aguncy.
Commissione: Ahearne believes the concerns underlying the Commission's; " clarifications" would be better resolved by
(
modifying the bill to provide that :
a an independent agency be allowed to comment on portions of the OMB analysis and report required by Section 4 l
which concern that agency's rules and regulations in l
order to provide better coordination for the resolution of overlapping conflicts and duplications; and i

The Honorable William V.
hoth, Jr.
2 o
the review by the Comptroller General under Section 6 include identification of any inconsistencies between recommendations of the President and independent agencies on resolution of a particular conflict or duplication between an Executive department and an independent agency.
If we may be of further assistance to the Committee, please do not hesitate to con, tact us.
rgSincerely,
\\
