541611- Management and Financial Consulting, Acquisition and Grants Management Support, and Business Program and Project Management Services

The regulatory objective of all agencies is to produce effective regulations and guidance. How do you ensure that your agency produces effective regulations and guidance? TRG answers this question with its three-pronged approach to effective rulemaking:

• Clarity in Writing (plain language)

• Substantive Accuracy (serves intended purpose)

• Correct Process (satisfies legal procedural requirements (APA))

The failure of any one of these principles weakens the government’s product. By focusing on these principles in all its consulting efforts TRG enables Federal agencies to build quality into their rulemaking projects.

Since 1980, TRG has provided services to Federal agencies in the following areas:

• Regulatory Training

• Regulatory Drafting

• Analyzing Public Comments in Rulemaking

• Regulatory Research

• Report Writing

• Streamlining and Improving the Regulatory Process

These services are described below.

Regulatory Training

TRG develops and presents training courses on the regulatory process and legal drafting for government regulators. TRG offers courses open to all government employees, as well as courses for the employees of specific agencies. TRG has courses for most federal agencies, including the following:

National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) Securities and Exchange Commission

(SEC)

Social Security Administration (SSA) U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)

Tailored courses vary in length from one to five days and may include segments on administrative law, principles of legal drafting, writing technical material in plain language, principles of organization, and use of algorithms. The courses help agencies enhance the public's confidence in their government by enhancing customer service and satisfaction and by improving the quality, timeliness, and efficiency of the rulemaking process.

Regulatory Drafting

TRG provides regulatory drafting support for all stages of the regulatory process, including:

• Researching background information

• Identifying options for the client to consider

• Drafting regulatory language

• Managing public rulemaking documents

• Analyzing comments received on proposed rules using DocketScope® comments analysis software

• Drafting preamble material for proposed and final rules

• Providing advice and assistance in coordinating documents within the agency, with

OMB, and with the Office of the Federal Register

TRG has supported agencies with all types of regulatory documents, including Advance Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRMs), Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs), Supplemental Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRMs), and final rules, including interim and direct final rules.

TRG’s staff has extensive knowledge of the technical and legal requirements for Federal Register documents and managing rulemaking documents. TRG also has experience assisting agencies in drafting regulation-related documents for both internal and external audiences, such as advisory materials, handbooks, and orders.

Regulatory Research

TRG provides research on regulatory projects throughout the regulatory process. Research may be necessary at the early stages of a project to help an agency identify the problem, alternatives for solving a problem, and past agency actions and factors relevant to the proposed solution. Research may be needed at almost any stage of a rulemaking project to

The Regulatory Group, Inc. 6 address questions raised by technical staff or during the agency’s review and coordination process.

Report Writing

TRG works with agencies to write and edit reports on technical or policy issues. On a short turn-around basis, TRG has reorganized, rewritten, and copy-edited agency reports that were technically sound but difficult to understand for persons outside the technical division of the agency. TRG’s extensive regulatory and writing experience enables it to help agencies communicate technically complex requirements in plain language without undercutting the substance of the regulation or report.

Streamlining and Improving the Regulatory Process

TRG assists agencies seeking to reengineer and streamline their rulemaking process. TRG helps agencies review and analyze their existing process, identify deficiencies, and develop and implement new procedures. TRG produced a major study for the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) on rulemaking as an organizational process. TRG has worked with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reorganize and streamline their rulemaking processes.

611430-Professional and Management Development Training

The success of most statutes depends on an agency’s ability to develop effective regulations and guidance. Most professionals, engineers, scientists, and even lawyers are not trained in the details of the rulemaking process or in the skills that apply to writing, editing, and reviewing regulations and guidance. TRG has been teaching government regulation writers how to develop effective regulations and guidance for more than 35 years.

TRG’s training philosophy is based on a three-pronged approach to developing effective regulations and guidance.

• Clarity in Writing (plain language)

• Substantive Accuracy (serves intended purpose)

• Correct Process (satisfies legal procedural requirements (APA))

Students learn that developing an effective regulation is like constructing a three-legged stool, the failure of any leg will bring down the stool. By focusing on these three principles, students learn how to build quality and practical utility into every document. An effective document is easier for customers to understand, easier for customers to comply with, and costs the agency less money in enforcement and interpretations.

TRG offers two-day courses, one-day courses, and two-to-three-hour seminars.

Two-Day Courses

Regulatory Drafting and Process Course This two-day course is designed for persons new to the regulatory field. Students learn the fundamental legal and procedural requirements for rulemaking and how to write regulations that communicate clearly to the affected public. While the course is directed primarily to persons without legal training, the course has proven valuable to lawyers whose previous education has not focused on the rulemaking process or on rule drafting. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit is available for most states.

The course addresses:

• Tools for writing in plain language

• Administrative Law and the Administrative Procedure Act

• Preamble and rule writing

• Analysis and response to public comments

• Managing rulemaking dockets

• Office of the Federal Register requirements

• Compliance with Executive Orders, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and other requirements

• Judicial review of regulations

The course provides the student with:

• Course book

The Regulatory Group, Inc. 13

• "An Introduction to Regulation Writing"

• “Document Drafting Handbook Annotated (DDHA)”

Advanced Regulation Drafting Course This two-day course is designed for those Federal agency rule writers who understand the basics of regulatory drafting and the regulatory process and are ready to take the next step to improve their rule writing skills. This course exposes writers to in-depth rule and preamble writing experience. Using real world exercises, class discussion, and instruction, this course addresses the kind of day-to-day issues a rule writer faces. Students receive the tools for improved writing and learn the skills for improved problem solving. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit is available for most states.

• How to write a preamble

• How to organize your regulation

• How to draft amendatory language

• How to write with style and clarity

• How to review and edit your document

The course provides the student with:

• Course book

• General drafting techniques

• Plain language writing tools

• A checklist for rule writers

One-Day Courses

Paperwork Reduction Act Compliance This one-day course is designed for all regulatory agency employees who must comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit is available for most states.

• Requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

• Consequences of failure to comply with the PRA

• What constitutes an information collection activity under the PRA

• Preparing an Information Collection Request (ICR) package

• Process requirements for information collections

• Recommended timelines for PRA compliance and submissions to OMB

Agency Guidance This one-day course is designed to help Federal agency employees navigate the vast world of agency guidance. Guidance is often used as a broad term that includes agency interpretations, policy statements, letters, and advisory materials

The Regulatory Group, Inc. 14 by whatever name. Agency guidance is used to describe materials issued to supplement or explain regulations and statutes. This course explains the differences between various types of guidance documents, what is meant by "binding" versus "non-binding guidance," the spectrum of procedural (APA) options agencies have for promulgating guidance, and levels of judicial deference or respect given to the resulting documents. This course also addresses techniques for writing and organizing guidance documents. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit is available for most states.

Federal Administrative Process This one-day course is designed to review the informal rulemaking requirements of the APA, subsequent statutes such as the Regulatory Flexibility Act (as amended), Executive Orders, and the most relevant court cases, including those decided within the last year. The informal rulemaking process today is a far cry from the simple notice and comment process once described by Professor Kenneth Culp Davis as “one of the greatest inventions of modern government.” Today the process is frequently described as having become “ossified.” While many requirements have been added over the last 60 years, this course is designed to de-mystify those requirements in the belief that a better understanding of the requirements will lead to a more efficient process. This course is open to lawyers and non-lawyers. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit is available for most states.

Plain Language/Plain Writing This one-day course addresses the essential elements of writing clear and concise government documents, whether they are regulations or guidance. The main goals of government communication are to provide helpful information and to achieve compliance with agency policies. Clear communication saves the government and regulated entities time and money. This course focuses on techniques and strategies for clear communication. This course does not endorse a rigid view of the tools that must be used by a writer to be deemed a writer of plain language but encourages an analytical and common sense approach to writing clearly.

Economic Analysis of Rulemaking This one-day course is designed to help anyone involved in rulemaking understand the economic analysis process. You will learn the requirements for economic analysis in rulemaking and how economic analyses are conducted. For the economist who is new to rulemaking, this course will provide the context within which you will perform your duties.

Seminars

Senior Executive Federal Rulemaking This two-hour, on-site course teaches senior agency executives the nuts and bolts of the rulemaking process. Agency executives are in the best position to affect policy decisions and have the most to gain from a better working knowledge of the rulemaking process. This seminar style course reviews the legal requirements for rulemaking and explores how rulemaking relates to enforcement, adjudication, and policy implementation.

This course addresses:

The Regulatory Group, Inc. 15

• Administrative Procedure Act requirements on informal rulemaking

• Statutes and Executive Orders that affect rulemaking

• Relationship between rulemaking, enforcement, and adjudication

• Relationship between policies implemented through rulemaking and policies established through agency guidance

• Judicial Review
