House Republicans step up anti-regulation effort (AP)
WASHINGTON ? House Republicans have launched their most ambitious, pro-business effort yet to rein in Obama administration regulators, triggering a furious debate over the value of new rules for clean air, workplace safety, children's toys and many other categories.
The House was set to vote Friday on the second of two anti-regulation bills, legislation that would impose potentially stifling procedures on federal regulators. Republicans argue that avoiding expensive new regulations would aid businesses in hiring workers, while Democrats counter that Americans' health and safety would be jeopardized.
The White House budget office didn't wait for the vote to announce that if the bill passed Congress, senior administration advisers would recommend a veto.
At this point, the Republican effort is mainly a 2012 campaign issue because the Democratic-run Senate has not passed any of the anti-regulation bills the House has approved this year.
Until now, Republicans have focused on derailing specific proposed rules, many of them from the Environmental Protection Agency. The latest effort, however, would curtail regulators ? and their proposed rules ? across the entire federal government.
The bill considered Friday, the Regulatory Accountability Act, would require numerous steps before new rules could be issued. Regulators would have to consider the legal authority for the rule, the nature and significance of the problem, any reasonable alternatives, and potential costs and benefits of the alternatives.
Federal courts would have an expanded role and the government would have a tougher legal standard to meet for a proposed rule to be affirmed.
OMB Watch, an advocacy organization that tracks federal regulations, said if the bill already had been law, the government would not have been able to issue a finding that greenhouse gases endangered public health. The group said it would have been more difficult to withstand court challenges to findings that a popular weed killer was dangerous. It would have been tougher to defend statements about the health impact of too much salt. And the government would have had to weaken a strong rule on lead in gasoline.
Still to come, probably next week, is a bill that would make it far easier for Congress to kill regulations.
The House on Thursday passed the first of the three bills in this latest anti-regulation effort. It would give more weight to the impact of federal regulations on small businesses, whose owners can be a powerful political force and are being courted by both parties.
The bill went to the Senate on a 263-159 vote.

House Republicans pass major anti-regulation bill
WASHINGTON (AP) ? In an ambitious gesture to their business allies, House Republicans passed legislation Friday to reduce what the GOP calls "an avalanche" of unneeded, costly regulations. Opponents call the bill an attempt to prevent the government from protecting Americans at their workplaces, in their homes and when they want a breath of fresh air.
The 253-167 vote sent the bill to the Democratic-run Senate, where it's likely to die. Just in case, the White House has issued a veto threat.
Republicans insist the mostly technical legislation would simply force federal agencies to follow presidential directives that have often been ignored ? including seeking with the lowest cost. The objective, the GOP says, is to allow companies to use their money to hire workers.
But Democrats, the White House, and government watchdog groups insist the aim is to get rid of aggressive rules approved by the Obama administration ? regulations that businesses complain about constantly.
"America faces an avalanche of unnecessary federal regulatory costs," Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the House Judiciary Committee chairman, said during House debate. "Yet the Obama administration seeks to add billions more to that cost."
Democratic Rep. George Miller of California denounced the bill, saying the U.S. has spent great time and effort "to ensure when workers go to work every day, they will return safely to their home."
"This legislation begins to bring that to an end because it would needlessly and recklessly expose our workers to injuries," said Miller, the senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
At this point, the fight over this and other anti-regulation bills approved by the GOP-led House is mainly a 2012 campaign issue, since they have little chance in the Democratic-run Senate.
The GOP effort is not finished. Next week, the House is expected to pass a bill that would make it easier for Congress to kill proposed rules.
Republicans agree the bill passed Friday would have a major impact on regulators but argue that's because it's not difficult for agencies to ignore presidential directives that don't have the force of law. Supporters and opponents agree on the major impact, but not much else.
?The opponents insist the bill would require agencies to consider any suggestions by interested parties, allowing opponents to dial up their lobbyists to keep offering changes and delaying a proposed rule. Republicans disagree, saying there's no change in the 60-day comment period for minor regulations and 120 days for major rules projected to cost at least $100 million.
?The bill would require an earlier analysis of costs and benefits, a provision that opponents argue would lead to misinformation that could cause delays. Republicans counter that agencies now misuse the analysis to justify the decisions they already made.
?Opponents object to additional proceedings for rules with a projected cost of more than $1 billion. Republicans argue there are only seven such regulations pending, including a now-delayed rule on boiler emissions. They said the hearing could be scheduled quickly and would not have to delay the final action.
Until now, Republicans have focused on derailing specific rules and regulations from the Obama administration, many of them from the Environmental Protection Agency. The latest effort, and the next bill giving Congress greater control over regulations, would cover the entire federal government.
OMB Watch, an advocacy organization that tracks federal regulations, said that if the bill were already law, it would have stopped the government from issuing its finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health. The group said it also would have hindered the government's efforts to declare a popular weed killer dangerous, make statements about the effects of too much salt on people's health and issue a strong rule on lead in gasoline.
Republicans received support from Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., top Democrat on the Agriculture Committee.
"In agriculture we have been dealing with innumerable problems that have been brought by regulations that are not properly vetted and seem to be for people that have a lack of understanding of exactly what's going on in agriculture," he said.
"So this legislation gives us an overhaul ... to make sure that we have more openness, more transparency, more accountability in these regulations. More time, more analysis."
Nineteen Democrats voted for the bill.

Illinois' economy has state over tax-break barrel (AP)
CHICAGO ? One of the largest companies in Illinois is calling the state's business climate "rudderless" and "dysfunctional" after lawmakers failed to approve a package of tax perks to help several businesses threatening to leave the financially strapped state.
Caterpillar Inc. said the vote sends a bad signal as the heavy equipment maker considers sites to build a manufacturing facility. State officials are also trying to convince Sears Holdings Corp. to stay put, but Ohio officials are now boasting about having a shot at luring the giant retailer.
"It goes to the broader issue, which is a dysfunctional, rudderless business climate," Caterpillar spokesman Jim Dugan told The Associated Press. "We're not saying anyone has been ruled in or ruled out, but if you were in the economic development business, that's not the signal you would want to send."
Still, Gov. Pat Quinn said he isn't worried that the failure of the tax package would prompt a bidding war with other states to keep Sears or other major employers happy in Illinois.
The Illinois House overwhelmingly shot down the tax package on Tuesday, thanks in part to squabbling over a tax to help low income residents insisted on by Quinn. The Senate approved the package, and legislative leaders said they were optimistic they could negotiate a deal.
The tax incentives and other breaks were aimed primarily at Sears and a pair of companies that own financial exchanges in Chicago, though the package also provided a research-and-development tax credit backed by Caterpillar. The companies have threatened to leave the state year, as Illinois struggles with high unemployment and a multibillion-dollar government budget deficit.
Caterpillar, a Fortune 500 company based in Peoria, reminded Quinn earlier this year ? after he signed off on income tax increases ? that the company had suitors in other states.
Now, Dugan said, Illinois is again sending the wrong message, especially since the company is deciding where to locate a manufacturing operation that will employ 1,000 people. The company has talked with about two dozen states including Illinois, along with sites in Mexico and Canada that are interested in its plans to move some tractor and excavator manufacturing to North America from Japan, Dugan said.
Incentives play an important role in site selection, but business climate is a major factor, he said.
This week's legislative vote in Illinois is "a perfect poster child for what's wrong with the state," Dugan said. "It sure as heck sends the absolute wrong signal."
Sears spokesman Chris Brathwaite was less direct, but said lawmakers were up against a deadline.
"It is our hope that lawmakers will achieve a compromise very soon as our timeline for making a decision about our future by the end of the year has not changed," Brathwaite said.
Quinn said he doesn't think Illinois will have to up its ante to match the $400 million offer reportedly made by the state of Ohio to Sears, which is headquartered in suburban Chicago. Ohio Gov. John Kasich told The Columbus Dispatch Wednesday that his state had put together the best package it could and was "in the ballgame."
The tax break deal in Illinois would have given Sears $15 million a year for 10 years.
"I think the proposed help for Sears is more than adequate to keep them here," Quinn said. "I think that ultimately Sears will stay here. That's what I endeavor to do as governor working with them."
Quinn and other state officials are in a multi-front struggle to build up the state's economy. The governor in January agreed to increase the corporate tax rate from 4.8 percent to 7 percent to help deal with a budget deficit projected to top $8 billion.
That tax hike gave states including Indiana and New Jersey an opening to lure some Illinois-based companies and set-off a chain of threats ? veiled and otherwise ? from businesses to leave.
Caterpillar CEO Douglas Oberhelman told Quinn in a letter written just after the tax increase that the company ? which was founded in Illinois and employs 23,000 in the state ? has offers to move.
Sears has said it wants incentives or it could move its headquarters. The CME Group Inc. and CBOE Holdings Inc. contend the state's tax structure is unfair, saying the financial exchanges they own could leave downtown Chicago.
Illinois' unemployment rate, meanwhile, has increased for six straight months, to 10.1 percent in October. The national rate was 9 percent.
Brathwaite, the Sears spokesman, said Thursday that the company thinks the tax breaks in the deal voted down by the House would make Illinois "competitive."
CME Group and CBOE Holdings declined to comment about the legislative vote.
Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the governor is talking to lawmakers about getting some version of the tax breaks passed.
