                United States Senate

                The Honorable David McIntosh

                House of Representatives

                Subject: Regulatory Reform: Major Rules Submitted for
                        Congressional Review During the First 2 Years

                This letter responds to your requests that we provide you with information on
                the major rules submitted to us and Congress during the first 2 years that the
                congressional review provisions in the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
                Fairness Act (SBREFA) were in effect.' Our specific objectives were to identify
                (1) how many major rules were issued during this period, (2) which agencies
                issued the rules, (3) how many of the rules had notices of proposed rule
                making, and (4) which regulatory statutes and executive orders the agencies
                commonly cite in the reports that SBREFA requires the agencies to submit. We
                also identified recurring problems with these major rules and the relationship of
                this information to pending legislation.




                'SBREFA's congressional review provisions are codified in sections 801 to 808

                of title 5, United States Code.
