Furor over DOL's 'secret' regulation.

The article reports on the U.S. proposed rule, "Requirements for Department of Labor (DOL) Agencies' Assessment for Occupational Health Risks." This proposed rule has caused a furor among legislators who claim the agency is circumventing directives for transparent government. The rule would demand DOL agencies to perform risk assessments when developing health standards associated with occupational exposure to toxic substances or hazardous chemicals.
