Despite three decades of vigorous efforts at deregulation across
the government, regulation remains ubiquitous. It also continues to
be unpopular because it forces individuals and businesses to do
things -frequently costly and unpleasant things -that they don't
want to do. If regulatory programs are to survive and remain
effective, the challenge posed by their endemic unpopularity and
political vulnerability must be met. Unlike much of the existing
literature on regulation, Taming Regulation begins with the
assumption that the government's capacity to utilize regulation as
a policy tool is vital. The book examines the questions of how to
make the inherently coercive aspects of regulation more politically
acceptable in the present antiregulatory environment and how the
legal and administrative challenges of reform in ongoing regulatory
programs might best be approached. The authors explore these issues
through a case study of administrative reform in the Superfund
program. Chartered with an ambitious mission to clean up the
nation's hazardous waste sites, Superfund was from its inception a
uniquely aggressive and unpopular program. Yet despite the election
in 1994 of a Republican Congress committed to fundamental changes
in environmental regulation, the Superfund program weathered the
storm and remains intact today. The authors credit this political
and programmatic success to a series of artfully designed and
orchestrated internal reforms that softened Superfund's
implementation, thus increasing its political support while
retaining its potent coercive tools. Taming Regulation provides a
cautionary discussion of both the necessity and the difficulty of
regulatory reform. It is essential reading for students of
regulation and environmental policy, for practitioners
contemplating reform of ongoing regulatory programs, and for those
interested in the checkered history of Superfund.
