SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background

best to promote retrospective analysis of rules that may be outmoded,
ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome.'' The EO calls on
every agency to develop ``a preliminary plan, consistent with law and
its resources and regulatory priorities, under which the agency will
periodically review its existing significant regulations to determine
whether such regulations should be modified, streamlined, expanded or
repealed to make the agency's regulatory program more effective and or
less burdensome in achieving its regulatory objectives.''
