The Office of Personnel Management has scheduled a course
for August 2 – 6 for experienced managers, policy analysts,
and technical specialists or other senior program staff who
are involved in regulatory policy development and
decision-making or who need a broader policy overview.
Given at the Western Management Development Center in Denver,
“Federal Regulatory Policy, Principles of Regulatory
Development and Reform,” is designed to provide a framework
for understanding the political, scientific, social, and
economic issues that shape regulatory development.
Participants examine the theory and practice of regulatory
policy development to learn about associated review
processes. The course partly focuses on the interagency
aspects of regulatory development and to recent progress in
regulatory reform.
Sessions will include an examination of the rulemaking process,
including executive branch efforts at regulatory reform; the
conduct of regulatory analyses, including cost-benefit tests;
executive order 12866, the regulatory planning and review
process; a review of potential regulatory impacts; and the
possibilities for partnerships between agencies, the private
sector, and the general public.

materials. Learn more and register at
