Five Yards for Delay of Game

Abstract

With gridlock in Congress, the sequestration budget cuts in January 2013, and the federal government shutdown in October 2013, the US Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory development game has been delayed. Some regulatory actions that were anticipated in early 2013 to be completed by the end of 2013 have slipped to 2014; others have slipped to 2015, or possibly later. Roberson offers a clear overview of the current situation regarding regulatory issues.
