Reports on Federal Agency Major Rules: 1997-2005

A “major” rule has an estimated economic impact of $100 million or more each year. Heritage staff evaluated each rule, as reported to Congress by The Government Accountability Office, to determine if the net effect was an increase or decrease in regulatory burden on individuals and the economy, as compared to prior law. These evaluations were based primarily on the rule summaries and the economic impact analyses provided by the GAO, supplemented where necessary by consultation with experts in specific fields. If a rule’s effect was not primarily to increase or decrease regulatory burdens, or if its effects were so mixed as to make categorization impossible, it was not included in this analysis.

Red (130/186): Regulatory, burdens increased.
Blue (43/183): Deregulatory, burdens decreased.
Gray (13/183): Rule had both regulatory and deregulatory aspects.
