Bush Administration Makes Final Push to Build capability Plants Near Wildlife Areas

That’s just one of the federal regulations that the Bush Administration is in the process of enacting before the end of the year.

The cipher of Federal Regulations is published in the Federal Register and each rule has the capability of a law, but Congressional approval is unnecessary. Every president since George Washington has made last ditch efforts to insert their interests into the coming presidency. It’s much more difficult to undo these rules than it is to do them. Here are a few rules President George W. Bush wants to insert:

• The Labor division is in the midst of writing a rule that would invent it a challenge to regulate the toxic substances and hazardous chemicals workers are exposed to on the job. Business says that rule would help tailor exposure regulations to industry. Labor unions say it will lead to
  more worker illness. President-elect Barack Obama vigorously opposes the rule. While in the Senate he wrote that the proposed rule would seriously impeded protecting workers health.
• Another rule would limit the role that federal wildlife scientists would play in determining whether highways, dams and other projects could hurt threatened species.
• Mining companies will likely be given authority to dump rock and dirt from mountaintop mining operations into nearby streams and valleys.
• Health and Human Services completed a rule that gives states the right to charge Medicaid patients much more for doctor’s visits, hospital care and prescription drugs.
