The Administration and Federal agencies should not impose requirements or mandates without the proper statutory authority provided by Congress. When regulations, requirements or mandates are necessary, the Administration and Federal agencies should follow an open and public rule-making process in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Advance recommendations of the Alexander-Mikulski-Burr-Bennet Task Force on regulations and requirements under Department of Education (ED) jurisdiction. Engage the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction on regulatory reform, unfunded mandates reform, and the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Pursue legislation that reinforces the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruling that federal agencies must submit sub-regulatory guidance for review as rules under the CRA. Clarify the definition of rule. Congress should make it clear that the term is intended to be expansive and specifically include documents that implement or interpret law or policy. Advocate for amendment of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to clarify that sub- regulatory guidance is subject to the act. Narrow the definition of good cause exception and require agencies to provide justification to the House and Senate Committees of jurisdiction when using the exception. Require federal agencies to perform a cost analysis of sub-regulatory guidance compliance. The sub-regulatory guidance and cost analysis should be published in the Federal Register for public comment. Advocate for proper rule-making process within the bounds of EDs statutory authority for new requirements. Rule-making should be inclusive with reasonable timelines. ED should avoid issuing interpretive rules, policy statements or other guidance that set new legal standards or requirements of the public. If such rules, statements or guidance are necessary then ED should seek public comment. Coordinate rather than duplicate efforts to support student Veterans. Five separate federal agencies have efforts to protect student veterans. Repeal the Affordable Care Act provision mandating employer-sponsored health care for employees working 30-hours-per-week and replace with a provision that applies the threshold to employees working a 40-hours-per-week. Reconcile the differences between immigration reform proposals offered by the Administration and Congress. Support EEO initiatives that are narrowly tailored to remedy documented discrimination in the workplace and carefully drafted to minimize burdens, confusion and unintended consequences.
