Editor’s Note:  A letter to OIRA from the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and the Chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and two sub-committee chairs is attached here.  The letter requests a staff briefing by November 2nd on OIRA’s delays in releasing the Spring 2012 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions and the 2012 Report to Congress on the Benefits and Costs of Federal Regulations as well as whether OIRA has provided agencies with any guidance on “midnight rulemaking.”
