Hamilton, James T. & Schroeder, Christopher H.
Abstract
The selection of decisionmaking procedures by regulatory agencies is examined, using the EPA and its implementation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as a source of data. The role that congressional selection of agency procedures plays in the efforts of Congress to control agency policy is refined.
