摘要

The federal government's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is about to get a new face. Unknown to many people outside of Washington, D.C., OIRA is located right next door to the White House and oversees all of the rules and regulations that are issued each year, including any dealing with climate. But unlike former president George W. Bush, who encouraged OIRA to assert significant control over rulemaking, President Barack Obama is taking steps that may weaken this office's power. Or is he?rnObama has apparently selected Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor and prolific writer on regulatory issues, to head OIRA in a position many call the "regulatory czar". A key role of this office is to analyze the cost-effectiveness of federal regulations. Many supporters of controls on greenhouse gases are expecting the Obama Administration to issue tough new rules on these emissions, but the choice of Sunstein has them scratching their heads.rnSunstein, a longtime friend of Obama's, had not been officially nominated when this story went to press. Sunstein is generally described as liberal politically and in favor of strong but cost-effective regulations. However, his academic writings have pushed some hot buttons for liberals and environmentalists. Sunstein has questioned some worker safety laws and advocated a very controversial "senior death discount" that calculates a lower economic value for the lives of the elderly compared with the young. Many climate control advocates are rattled by Sunstein's push to give prominence to cost-benefit analyses when crafting new federal rules, which they say consistently tips the scales against environmental regulations by tallying greater costs than benefits.

Bush）鼓励OIRA宣称对规则制定具有重大控制权不同，巴拉克•奥巴马（Barack Obama）总统正在采取可能削弱该办公室权力的措施。还是奥巴马？显然奥巴马已经选择了哈佛大学法学教授，监管问题多产作家卡斯·桑斯坦（Cass Sunstein）来领导OIRA，这个职位被称为“监管沙皇”。该办公室的关键作用是分析联邦法规的成本效益。许多控制温室气体的支持者期望奥巴马政府对这些排放颁布严格的新规定，但桑斯坦的选择却使他们scratch之以鼻。按。在政治上通常将桑斯坦描述为自由主义者，并主张制定强有力但具有成本效益的法规。但是，他的学术著作为自由主义者和环保主义者推了一些热键。桑斯坦（Sunstein）对一些工人安全法提出了质疑，并提倡极富争议的“高级死亡折扣”，该方法计算出老年人的经济价值要比年轻人低。许多气候控制倡导者对Sunstein在制定新的联邦法规时强调成本效益分析的努力感到不安，他们说，这些法规通过计算成本大于收益来不断推翻针对环境法规的规模。
