GAO found that the rulemaking requirements that have been placed on OHSA and other agencies are voluminous and require a wide range of procedural, consultative, and analytical actions on the part of the agencies. Federal agencies sometimes take years to develop final rules and the requirements are not as effective as expected or as they could be. This lack of effectiveness can be traced to how the requirements have been implemented and the requirements themselves. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-852T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-852T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-852T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-852T.pdf GAO-01-852T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-852T Testimony GAO-01-852T; Federal Rulemaking: Procedural and Analytical Requirements at OSHA and Other Agencies; Occupational health and safety programs Public health legislation Regulatory agencies Safety regulation Title 40 Part 1500 40 CFR Part 1500
