Not All of Them, Obviously...
The U.S. Department of
Transportation, as part of its effort to overhaul and expedite its
rulemaking process, today announced the withdrawal or termination
of 53 rulemaking actions for which no further regulatory action is
planned.
"Rulemaking is one of DoT's most important activities, and I
have worked to ensure that the department's rules -- and the
process to develop them -- are driven by the results we are trying
to achieve," U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta
said. "The actions we are taking today build on our ongoing effort
to complete all rulemakings in a timely manner."
Ignore it long enough, and it may go away.
At the direction of Secretary
Mineta, the department reviewed the status of all DoT
rulemakings. The review identified numerous proceedings
listed in DoT's Regulatory Agenda for which it was clear no further
action was intended. Many of these proceedings had been pending for
years without action. The withdrawn or terminated rulemakings
include notices of proposed rulemaking, advance notices of proposed
rulemaking, and one interim final rule, and involve proceedings
within most of DoT's operating administrations as well as the
Office of the Secretary.
Take a look at the list yourself, at the link below. It includes
some interesting titles, including, "Objects affecting navigable
airspace," "Improved water survival equipment," "Modification of
the dimensions of the Grand Canyon National Park special flight
rules area and flight free zones," and about a dozen others.
