Red Alert Politics did a short write-up of my recent FCC regulatory report card. The full report card is here.

I’m a bit late getting to this, but earlier this month the Washington Times editorialized on some of the research that Wayne Crews and I have been doing:

Next up on the scale, useless government departments like Commerce force businesses to spend 51 million hours filling out paperwork. By CEI’s estimate, that undertaking wastes about $1.8 billion in private-sector resources. Larger departments like Transportation impose $61.8 billion in costs through rules that dictate how automobiles, trains and airplanes are designed.

Read the whole thing here.

I’m quoted in this story about the post-election midnight rush. Long story short, regulations came out at a normal pace for most of the year, slowed down before the election, and now they’re coming out at breakneck speed.

Incidentally, one number I found today while doing some research is that the EPA alone has issued 69 new final rules from Election Day through today, December 13. That’s roughly double its normal pace in recent years.

I recently appeared on Andrew Wilkow’s show on The Blaze to talk about a particularly absurd regulation: the federal government’s 13,000 words regulating falconry. If the embedded video below doesn’t work, click here.

In about ten minutes, I’ll be on Twin Cities News Talk AM1130’s “This Week in Regulation” to talk about, well, regulation.

You should be able to listen live from here.

Tomorrow morning around 8:00, I’ll be on the Rob and Dave show on Atlanta’s WGST 92.3 FM to talk about regulation. Non-Georgians should be able to listen live at this link (look for a listen live button near the top of the page).
