Report ro The Congress

:OF THE UNITED STATES





Improved Oversight And Guidance

Needed To Achieve Regulatory

Reform At DOE



The Department of Energy has no fully achieved the
goals of regulatory reform. The primary overall goal is
to regulate In an effective but least burdensome manner.
This report raises questions as to the adequacy of in-
formation available to decisionmakers to provide a
full pers pective of the need, merits, and costs of the
proposed regulations. All three of the regulatory anal-
yses GAO examined had information gaps that signif-
icantly minimized their usefulness In the decision
process.
GAO   found these data deficiencies result primarily
from a lack of specific guidance in preparing effective
regulatory analyses and recommdends that the Secretary
of Energy, among other actions,
     --designate organizational responsibility for over-
     sight of the regulatory reform process, including
     the monitoring of regulatory analyses, and
     --provide guidance to program managers by issu-
     ing a revised Departmental order covering the
     requirements of the regulatory reform process.
