Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution or Use
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States
of America, and in order to appropriately weigh and consider the effects of the Federal
Government's regulations on the supply, distribution, and use of energy, it is hereby ordered as
follows:
Section 1. Policy. The Federal Government can significantly affect the supply, distribution, and
use of energy. Yet there is often too little information regarding the effects that governmental
regulatory action can have on energy. In order to provide more useful energy-related information
and hence improve the quality of agency decision making, this executive order requires that
agencies prepare a Statement of Energy Effects when undertaking certain agency actions. As
described more fully below, such Statements of Energy Effects shall describe the effects on
energy supply, distribution or use of certain significant regulatory actions.
Sec. 2. Preparation of a Statement of Energy Effects. (a) To the extent permitted by law,
agencies shall prepare and submit a Statement of Energy Effects to the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for those matters identified as significant energy
actions.
(b) A Statement of Energy Effects shall consist of a detailed statement by the agency
responsible for the significant energy action relating to:
(i) any adverse energy effects on energy supply, distribution, or use of the energy
(including a shortfall in supply, price increases, and increased use of foreign supplies) should the
proposal be implemented, and
(ii) reasonable alternatives to the action with adverse energy effects and the
expected effects on energy supply, distribution, and use.
(c) The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs shall provide
guidance to the agencies on the implementation of this order and shall consult with other
agencies as appropriate in the implementation of this order.
Sec. 3. Submission and Publication of Statements. (a) Agencies shall submit their Statements of
Energy Effects to the Office of Management and Budget whenever they present the related
submission under Executive Order 12866 or any successor order.
(b) Agencies shall publish their Statements of Energy Effects, or a summary thereof, in
each related Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and in any resulting Final Rule.
Sec. 4. Definitions. For purposes of this Order:
(a) "Regulation" and "rule" have the same meaning as they do in Executive Order 12866
or any successor order.
(b) "Significant energy action" means any action by an agency (normally published in the
Federal Register) that promulgates or is expected to lead to the promulgation of a final rule or
regulation, including notices of inquiry, advance notices of proposed rulemaking, and notices of
proposed rulemaking--
(1) (A) that is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 or any
successor order and
(B) where the action is likely to adversely affect in a material way the supply,
distribution or use of energy; or
(2) where the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
designates the action as a significant energy action.
(c) "Agency" means any authority of the United States that is an "agency" under 44
U.S.C. 3502(1), other than those considered to be independent regulatory agencies, as defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(10).
Sec. 5. Judicial Review. Nothing in this Executive order shall affect any otherwise
available judicial review of agency action. This Executive order is intended only to improve the
internal management of the Federal Government and does not create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States, its
agencies or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or any other person.
THE WHITE HOUSE
, to wit: an agency statement of general applicability and future effect, which the agency intends
to have the force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or
policy or to describe the procedure or practice requirements of an agency. They do not, however,
include:
(1) Regulations or rules issued in accordance with the formal rulemaking
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 556, 557;
(2) Regulations or rules that pertain to a military or foreign affairs function of the
United States, other than procurement regulations and regulations involving the import or export
of non-defense articles and services;
(3) Regulations or rules that are limited to agency organization, management, or
personnel matters; or
(4) Any other category of regulations exempted by the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
ACTIONS TO EXPEDITE ENERGY-RELATED PROJECTS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, and in order to take additional steps to expedite the increased supply
and availability of energy to our Nation, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The increased production and transmission of energy in an
environmentally sound manner is essential to the well being of the American people. In general,
it is the policy of this Administration that executive departments and agencies ("agencies") shall
take appropriate actions, to the extent consistent with applicable law, to expedite projects that
will increase the production and transmission of energy.
Sec. 2. Actions to Expedite Energy-Related Projects. For energy-related
projects, agencies shall expedite their review of permits or take other actions as necessary to
accelerate the completion of such projects, while maintaining environmental protection.
The agencies shall take such actions to the extent permitted by law and regulation, and where
appropriate.
Sec. 3. Interagency Task Force. There is established an interagency task force ("Task
Force") to monitor and assist the agencies in their efforts to take appropriate actions to help
increase production and improve transmission of energy, including efforts to expedite their
review of permits or taking other actions as necessary to accelerate the completion of energy-
related projects. The Task Force also shall ensure that agencies set up appropriate mechanisms
to coordinate Federal, state, Tribal, and local permitting in geographic areas where increased
permitting activity is expected. The Task Force shall be composed of representatives from the
Departments of State, the Treasury, Defense, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development,
Justice, Commerce, Transportation, the Interior, Labor, Education, Health and Human Services,
Energy, Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Central Intelligence
Agency, General Services Administration, Office of Management and Budget, Council of
Economic Advisers, Domestic Policy Council, and National Economic Council, and such other
representatives as may be determined by the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality.
The Task Force would be chaired by the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality.

Executive Order
President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America, and to
preserve Social Security for senior Americans while building
wealth for younger Americans, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section I. Establishment. There is established a President's
Commission to Strengthen Social Security ("Commission").
Sec. 2. Membership. The Commission shall be composed of fourteen
members appointed by the President, of which no more than seven
shall be members of the same political party. The President
shall also designate two members of the Commission to act as co-
chairs. The two co-chairs shall not be members of the same
political party.
Sec. 3. Mission. The mission of the Commission shall be to
develop a bipartisan proposal to modernize and restore fiscal
soundness to Social Security according to the following
principles: (a) Modernization must not change Social Security
benefits for retirees or near-retirees;
(b) The entire Social Security surplus must be dedicated to
Social Security only;
(c) Social Security payroll taxes must not be increased;
(d) Government must not invest Social Security funds in the
stock market;
(e) Modernization must preserve Social Security's disability
and survivors components; and
(f) Modernization must include individually controlled,
voluntary personal retirement accounts, which will augment the
Social Security safety net.
Sec. 4. Administration (a) Members of the Commission shall serve
without any additional compensation for their work on the
Commission. However, members appointed from among private
citizens of the United States may be allowed travel expenses,
including per diem in lieu of subsistence, to the extent funds
are available therefor.
(b) The Commission shall have a staff headed by an Executive
Director, who shall be selected by the President. To the extent
permitted by law, funding for the Commission shall be provided by
the Social Security Administration. Also to the extent permitted
by law, office space, analytical support and additional funding
for the Commission shall be provided by Executive Branch
departments and agencies as directed by the President.
(c) The Commission shall receive input from and provide briefings
to the Congress, by procedures determined by the President in
consultation with the congressional leadership. Public hearings
shall be held at the call of the co-chairs, in consultation with
the President.
Sec. 5. Reports. The Commission shall submit reports as follows:
(a) Interim Report. An interim report shall describe the
challenges facing the Social Security system and the criteria by
which the Commission will evaluate reform proposals. These
criteria may include but are not limited to: solvency,
sustainability, benefit adequacy, fair treatment across
generations and demographic groups, total annual cost
obligations, net annual impact on the federal budget, impact upon
national savings, impact on workforce participation, impact on
employer-provided pension plans, rates of return, and protections
against poverty.
(b) Final Report. The final report will set forth the
Commission's recommendations regarding how to strengthen Social
Security with personal accounts. The Commission shall submit its
final report during the fall of 2001. The submission date shall
be determined by the co-chairs in consultation with the
President.
Sec. 6. Termination. The Commission shall terminate thirty days
after submitting its final report.

FROM:
Donald Arbuckle Hold
SUBJECT
April 2001 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory
Actions
This memorandum describes guidelines and procedures for publishing the April 2001 Unified
Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (see Attachment). As you know,
publication of the Agenda represents a key component of the regulatory planning mechanism
prescribed in Executive Order 12866 "Regulatory Planning and Review" of September 30, 1993
(58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993).
As you prepare your Unified Agenda submission, please remember our underlying objectives.
The Executive Order emphasized better planning and coordination of the regulatory process and
also stressed the need to make the regulatory process more accessible and open to the public.
The Agenda and the Plan contribute significantly to achieving these objectives.
We also urge you to keep in mind the need for better communication with the public. You can
find extensive online guidance on improving communication at http://www.plainlanguage.gov.
The Regulatory Information Service Center will prepare the April 2001 Agenda from the ROCIS
data base system. Agencies that submit data in an electronic form should access ROCIS through
the Internet, following the Center's instructions.
Once again we ask that you indicate whether each regulatory action has "federalism implications"
as defined in Executive Order 13132 "Federalism" issued on August 4, 1999 (64 FR 43255;
August 10, 1999). The term "federalism implications" refers to actions "that have substantial
direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government."
Independent agencies are encouraged to answer this question, but are not required to do SO.
Agencies that use the Agenda to report reviews of existing regulations under section 610(c) of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) will again be able to report current reviews,
completions of reviews, and actions that are the result of completed reviews. Please read
carefully the attached guidelines and procedures for an explanation of how this information will
- 2
appear in the Unified Agenda. It is important to understand that the information you provide in
each Agenda entry should apply to the current activity you are reporting and not to the underlying
rule that you are reviewing or amending.
Please update the information that appeared in the October 2000 Regulatory Plan and Agenda and
submit the required information for new items, including any actions that both began and ended
since then.
The attachments to this memorandum include all the materials you need to prepare your
submissions. They explain in detail how to prepare your Agenda submission, whether you enter
your information directly into the data base, transmit a complete electronic data file, or submit
your information on paper forms. Please follow carefully the procedures explained in the
attachments and be sure to include all required documents with your submissions.
It is very important that your agency submit all Unified Agenda materials by February 23, 2001.
Late submission could jeopardize timely publication. Please be sure that your submissions are
accurate and complete as of that date; we may not be able to make changes submitted later.
You may direct any questions regarding the content of agency plans or agendas to the appropriate
desk officer in the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Please direct your submissions, as well as requests for additional materials and
production questions, to the Regulatory Information Service Center, General Services
Administration, 1800 F Street NW., Suite 3039, Washington, DC 20405, (202) 482-7340
Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention.

Attachment 1
Guidelines and Procedures for the April 2001
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
Why Is the Unified Agenda Published?
All executive departments and establishments subject to Executive Order No. 12866 "Regulatory
Planning and Review" of September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993) are required by
section 4(b) to publish a regulatory agenda every 6 months. The Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is a compilation of these agendas. In addition, the Unified
Agenda furthers the purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602 and 605).
What Regulations Should Agencies Include in Their Agendas?
Regulatory agendas should describe all regulations under development or review during the 12
months following publication. This includes, at a minimum, any plans to publish or otherwise
implement an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, or a
Final Rule. Agencies may include any plans to conduct a review pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 610(c) or
section 5 of Executive Order 12866. An agency need not include in its regulatory agenda those
rulemaking actions that are excluded by section 3(d)(1)-(4) of Executive Order 12866.
How May Agencies Use the Unified Agenda to Comply with the Periodic Review
Requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act?
Some agencies choose to use the Unified Agenda to publish notices of the rules they have
selected for periodic review under section 610(c) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. For those
agencies, note that section 610(c) of the Act states:
"Each year, each agency shall publish in the Federal Register a list of the rules which have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, which are to be reviewed
pursuant to this section during the succeeding twelve months. The list shall include a brief
description of each rule and the need for and legal basis of such rule and shall invite public
comment upon the rule."
To facilitate this process, the Unified Agenda provides agencies a means of identifying these
entries. By responding to the Section 610 Review question, you may select one of the following
labels to append to the title, highlighting this designation in agency tables of contents and
existing indexes, and listing these entries in a separate index.
2
(Section 610 Review) -- To report a planned or current review in the prerule part of the agency's
agenda. If you identify rules for review under section 610(c), we remind you to include in those
entries "a brief description of each rule and the need for and legal basis of such rule." Also, you
should "invite public comment upon the rule" in your agency's preamble to the Agenda.
(Completion of a Section 610 Review) -- To report the completion of a review in the completed
actions part of the agency's agenda.
(Rulemaking Resulting From a Section 610 Review) -- To report a rulemaking that is the result
of a review.
The information that you provide in each Agenda entry should apply to the current activity you
are reporting and not to the underlying rule that the agency is reviewing or amending. In
particular, the question about whether a regulatory flexibility analysis is required refers to the
current action, not the original rule.
The General Accounting Office issued a report on agencies' use of the Unified Agenda for
complying with section 610(c) and their interpretations of the review requirements (GAO/GGD-
99-55; B-282127; April 1999).
How Should an Agency Prepare Its Data for Publication in the Unified Agenda?
Agencies participating in the Unified Agenda should publish their respective portions in the
uniform format specified in the instructions of the Regulatory Information Service Center
(RISC). RISC edits and compiles the Unified Agenda on behalf of OIRA.
Agencies have three alternative methods to prepare data on individual entries for publication in
the Unified Agenda:
(1) Direct Entry. The agency establishes a connection through the Internet between one or more
of its own computer terminals and the Unified Agenda data base, which is on the RISC-OIRA
Combined Information System (ROCIS). Agency personnel should enter data directly into
ROCIS. For preparation of the April 2001 Unified Agenda, ROCIS will be protected by a
security procedure.
(2) Data File. An agency that stores its Agenda data in its own data base may choose to send the
data to RISC in a single electronic transmission. Agency personnel prepare a file according to
the specific file format prescribed by RISC for this option. The agency then establishes a
connection through the Internet between one of its own computer terminals and the Unified
Agenda data base, which is on ROCIS. The agency personnel then use ROCIS to transmit the
prepared file. If you are interested in data file submission, contact RISC for further information.
3
(3) Paper Forms. The agency chooses to submit its agenda entries on paper forms and the RISC
staff arranges for keying the data into ROCIS. For entries that will appear for the first time in the
April 2001 Agenda, you should use Regulatory Information Data Forms marked "4/2000
Edition." To update entries that appeared in the October 2000 Unified Agenda, you should
submit marked copies of "Agenda Review Reports" which you have printed from ROCIS.
It is important that you provide in the Timetable section of every entry that is not a completion
an estimated date for the "Next Action" the first action scheduled to occur on or after April 1,
2001.
For each agency that prepares its agenda by (1) Direct Entry or (2) Data File, ROCIS provides to
the agency's agenda contact staff the ability to generate and print out on the agency's own
printers all of the agency's entries and an error report. You should use the error report to correct
any errors and supply any missing data. When the agency is satisfied that its entries are
complete and accurate, a designated person at the agency will be able to submit the entries to
RISC electronically through ROCIS.
Direct Entry and Data File agencies should enter their preambles directly into ROCIS. The
required, signed copies (see below) should be printed by the agency directly from ROCIS.
For further information about these procedures, please contact RISC.
What Documents Should an Agency Submit?
Each agency participating in the Unified Agenda should submit the following documents to
RISC.
(1) One signed original and two certified copies of the preamble to its regulatory agenda.
(Please note that the signature is required to be that of the person whose name and title are typed
in the document's signature block. One person may not sign for another person.) The preamble
must meet the normal requirements for printing in the Federal Register, including a list of CFR
chapters pertaining to the agency.
(2) (Only for agencies that choose to submit their data on paper forms) A paper copy of the
agency's agenda entries. New entries should be on Regulatory Information Data Forms.
Repeating entries should be on marked copies of "Agenda Review Reports" that the agency has
obtained from RISC.
(3) A letter addressed to the Office of the Federal Register (see sample letter) authorizing RISC
to assemble the agency's agenda and authorizing the Government Printing Office (GPO) to bill
the agency for printing its portion of the Unified Agenda. The letter should include the agency's
billing code.
4
When and How Should Agencies Submit Their Agendas?
The deadline for submission of all completed agenda materials is February 23, 2001.
Agencies should submit the applicable forms and other required documents to the Regulatory
Information Service Center (MI), General Services Administration, 1800 F Street NW., Suite
3039, Washington, DC 20405; telephone (202) 482-7340.
RISC will then assemble the entire Unified Agenda and ensure that each agency agenda are
compiled and forwarded to GPO for printing in a single day's issue of the Federal Register.
Each agency will be able to obtain reprint copies of its individual agenda through the GPO
procurement process.
How Can Agencies Obtain Further Information?
For further information concerning the content requirements of agency agendas, contact your
agency's desk officer in the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget.
For further information concerning automated agenda production, specific data requirements,
format, completion, or submission of agency agendas, contact the Regulatory Information
Service Center; telephone (202) 482-7340.
