REgulatory Management: Communication About Technology-Based Innovations Can Be Improved

Abstract

During the past several years, information technology (IT) has played an increasingly important role in how federal agencies interact with the public and accomplish their missions. Sometimes referred to as electronic government or E-gov, the use of IT has already changed how public policy is developed and administered in a variety of areas and has the potential to introduce even more changes in the future. One area of public policy that is beginning to feel the effects of IT is regulatory management, which includes such interrelated processes as rulemaking, compliance assistance, information collection and dissemination, and regulatory enforcement. The use of IT in regulatory management can reduce regulatory burden; improve the transparency of regulatory processes; and, ultimately, facilitate the accomplishment of regulatory objectives.
