Interest Group Participation in Rule Making
Ten years ago we completed a survey that examined interest group participation in the rule-making process. At the time, it was the first major study to examine the role of interest groups in one of the most important policy-making venues in our democratic system. This article reexamines interest group participation in rule making a decade later. We focus most of the study on comparisons in how organizations access rule-making agencies, what techn…
Earthquake Recovery
This study examines the gap in perceptions of small business owners and government officials about the availability, usability, and effectiveness of public support and assistance after an earthquake. Specifically, the study explores perceptions about small business recovery held by officials in two federal agencies, the Small Business Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Administration, following the Northridge earthquake. The arti…
Political Influence on the Bureaucracy
This study addresses the question of political influence on the bureaucracy from the perspective of agency officials who are being pressured. The article presents the results of a survey sent to senior federal government officials concerning the relative impact of policy-making institutions on bureaucratic policy making. The survey differentiated between the types of mechanisms used to influence bureaucratic policy. The results suggest that the p…
Interest Group Influence on Rule Making
A majority of actual policy is not developed by Congress but by regulatory agencies that have been delegated the authority to interpret congressional intent. Using some of the major variables associated with interest group influence on Congress, this study examines a model of interest group influence on agency rule makings. The study uses survey data to examine how interest groups relate to regulatory agencies, how those groups participate in rul…

The 1992 Regulatory Moratorium
History of Presidential Involvement in Rulemaking Since the Roosevelt administration and the recommendations of the Brownlow Commission, presidents have attempted to assert more control over regulatory agencies. Although in the past the appointment power was a mechanism used by presidents to oversee agencies, it has not provided an adequate amount of control over many agency actions. Bureaucratic advantages such as knowledge, history, and seniori…
Reinventing Regulatory Development at the Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develops some of the most complex, far‐reaching regulations in the federal government, which require a complex internal rulemaking management system. This paper examines current reforms to this process in the context of addressing obstacles to EPA's rulemaking efforts. The study is important both to the management of one of the most expansive regulatory agencies and to rulemaking management in general. Ma…
Netting the Big One
While sitting in the waiting area at the 1992 APSA Placement Service, one has plenty of time to check out the competition. When we overheard one potential competitorsporting a Harvard name tag-explain to his friends that he had removed his wedding band for the duration of the interviews, we began to wonder just what it would take for two political scientists to find teaching jobs in 1992-93. After spending over $500 in postage, mailing 190 applic…
Time and Rulemaking
Rulemaking is among the most important and controversial functions perfonned by public agencies. One of the most persistent and serious problems in rulemaking is delay in the issuance of rules. This research examines the factors influencing rulemaking by the Environmental Protection Agency. Theory directs us to legal requirements, bureaucratic elements, and political influences that may influence the passage of time in rulemaking. We develop a nu…
