Rules & Regulations * USA - Obama puts hold on 11th-hour regs, including EOBRs
In one of his first moves after taking office, President Barack Obama put a hold on the flurry of regulations issued by the Bush administration in its last days
Washington,DC,USA -Land Line Magazine -Jan. 21, 2009 – In a Tuesday, Jan. 20, memo sent to heads of executive departments and agencies, Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel brought the executives and agency heads up to speed on Obama’s plan for “managing the federal regulatory process”... In the memo, Emanuel wrote that agency heads appointed by Obama must review any regulation not having cleared the White House Office of Management and Budget during the Bush administration... One such regulation was a final rule on the mandated use of electronic on-board recorders... The EOBR – or “black box” – rule was sent to the White House for approval in November 2008 and did not get the needed approval to be published in the Federal Register before Bush left office... In addition to bringing regs at OMB back in for review, any regulation that Bush’s OMB office had approved but had not published officially in the Federal Register is also on hold waiting for agency review, according to the memo... Specifically for the trucking industry, three new regulations were published in the Federal Register during the last days of the Bush administration. Those include final rules on responsibility for intermodal chassis, driver medical certification verification and the new entrant safety assurance process...
