Executive Order 12866

Executive Order 12866 specifically addresses regulatory planning, coordination, and review by Federal agencies. Its goals are:
    To make the Federal regulatory process more accessible and open to the public.

    To provide the American people with a regulatory system -

    1. that works for them, not against them;

    2. that protects and improves their health, safety, environment, and well-being;

    3. that improves the performance of the economy without imposing unacceptable or unreasonable costs on society;

    4. that recognizes that the private sector and private markets are the best engine for economic growth; and

    5. that respects the role of State, local, and tribal governments.

    To ensure that rules are effective, sensible, understandable, and consistent within the same agency and between agencies.
