This is probably a little wonky, but I would attend if I was still in NY :)



Changes to the Regulatory State
President Obama’s Approach to Regulation and its Impacts on Federal Environmental and Health Protections

March 12, 2010, 9:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m.
New York University School of Law, Vanderbilt Hall, Greenberg Lounge

Co-sponsored by the Institute for Policy Integrity, NYU Environmental Law Journal, and NYU Enviromental Law Society

The Administration is in the midst of the most significant regulatory reforms in nearly two decades, with pending revisions to the Executive Order that governs the regulatory review process and the relationship between agencies and the White House.

At the same time, it is also pursuing significant new regulations on a variety of environmental issues, including the nation’s first binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions.

The symposium will feature the perspectives of leading academics, regulators, and environmental practitioners on these recent and future changes, with a keynote address by Lisa Heinzerling, EPA’s Associate Administrator for the Office of Policy, Economics, and Innovation (OPEI) and the author of several prominent books and articles on environmental and administrative law.

For attorneys - CLE credit will be available.
