9. Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs: Past, Present, and Future.

Author

Tozzi, Jim

Abstract

This article has three sections, each of which deals with an Executive Order. The first section, "Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) Past," emphasizes the critical role that Executive Orders played in the formation of OIRA. More specifically, OIRA owes its initial existence to the establishment of a centralized regulatory review system, the Quality of Life Review, which initiated Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review of environmental regulations through the issuance of a directive from OMB. Every subsequent President expanded OMBs powers through the issuance of Executive Orders which culminated in the Iconic Executive Order 12291. The section concludes with the recommendation that a select class of Executive Orders, and OMB Directives, be designated as "Iconic" by the National Archivist in consultation with the OIRA, and then given substantial deference by incoming Administrations. The second section, "OIRA Present," describes an Executive Order issued during the Kennedy Administration which remains in effect but was promulgated prior to the establishment of OIRA and therefore recommends that a new Executive Order be issued which gives OIRA specific authority to participate in the conduct of interagency reviews of Executive Orders. The third section, "OIRA Future," describes an Executive Order which implements a regulatory budget (RB) and institutionalizes a mechanism for controlling the size of the administrative state. This final section of the article recommends that the aforementioned Executive Order be reviewed and modified based upon the outcome of a request for public comments, and rules with demonstrated positive net benefits should no longer be accorded an automatic entitlement for issuance as a final rule absent their inclusion in an RB.

Author

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON D C SYSTEMS ANALYSIS GROUP (CIVIL FUNCTIONS), Tozzi,Jim J., OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON D C SYSTEMS ANALYSIS GROUP (CIVIL FUNCTIONS), and Tozzi,Jim J.

Abstract

The central theme of the paper is that value judgments are implicit in the criteria used for the measurement of the benefits and costs associated with a proposed investment and that conventional benefit-cost ratios tend to conceal these opinions. A methodology is presented which highlights for any proposed investment its contribution to the well-being of some groups, its detrimental effects on other groups and an alternative use of the same resources. A general description of each procedure is followed by a detailed illustration of its role in evaluating water resource projects. (Author)

20. AN OPTIMUM MIX OF HETEROGENEOUS WEAPONS SYSTEMS

Author

JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF WASHINGTON D C SPECIAL STUDIES GROUP, Tozzi, Jim J., JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF WASHINGTON D C SPECIAL STUDIES GROUP, and Tozzi, Jim J.

Abstract

The objective of the present analysis is to demonstrate the applicability of differential gaming to problems concerning the optimum mix of weapons systems. The problem is formulated as a game between two sides, Blue and Red, over a given period of time. The Blue player, with two weapons systems A and B, desires an optimum mix of the two weapon systems. He then has a tactical allocation over time to the two weapons for an 'arsenal' mission and an enemy force 'attrition' mission. The Red player, with one weapon system C, has a similar tactical allocation to these two missions. The payoff is given in terms of both sides allocation to the 'arsenal' mission. (Author)
