Abstract

This annual survey chapter by William S. Jordan III provides a comprehensive overview of significant legal and procedural developments in federal administrative rulemaking during 2011. The piece examines key judicial decisions, legislative initiatives, and agency practices that shaped the evolving landscape of regulatory governance. Topics include trends in notice-and-comment rulemaking, debates over interpretive vs. legislative rules, the ongoing influence of Chevron and Auer deference, and emerging questions surrounding cost-benefit analysis, OMB oversight, and public participation. Jordan also discusses the implications of major agency actions and rulemakings—particularly in areas such as environmental, financial, and healthcare regulation—highlighting both doctrinal shifts and procedural innovations. The chapter is a valuable resource for practitioners and scholars seeking an up-to-date understanding of the mechanics and challenges of modern rulemaking.
