The United States' overall competitive position in the world economy is threatened by deteriorating infrastructure and the lack of sufficient funds designated to maintain the backbone of the economy. Across all infrastructure categories but most strikingly transportation and water and wastewater, a large gap has opened up between the needs of the systems and the available funding sources. Whereas the precise consequences of inaction are uncertain, it appears likely that similar to firms and businesses that lack productive capital to remain profitable, the U.S. economy will be confronted with an economic challenge. Swift action on behalf of policy makers in Washington and the local level is required to reverse this trend and maintain the economy's superior competitive position in the 21s...

The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish semiannual regulatory agendas in the Federal Register describing regulatory actions they are developing that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' signed September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51735), and Office of Management and Budget memoranda implementing section 4 of that Order establish minimum standards for agencies' agendas, including specific types of information for each entry. The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda) helps agencies fulfill these requirements. All Federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of the Unified Agenda. Edi...
