The following article from ClimateScienceWatch.org was posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 and is available in its entirety at the following Web address: http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/sunstein-confirmation-hearing/ Title: "Some reassurance on White House regulatory czar-nominee Cass Sunstein" Introduction: At his Senate confirmation hearing May 12, Office of Management and Budget regulatory affairs administrator-designee Cass Sunstein vowed to respect the rulemaking authority of EPA and other agencies, and to limit and “humanize” the use of cost-benefit analysis in reviewing proposed agency rulemakings so as not to allow “maximizing money” to undermine the values of environmental and health protection and the integrity of scientific assessment in decisionmaking. If he makes good on these promises, he will begin to undo the damage done by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under his predecessor.
