Massachusetts: Year-long Review to Reduce Burdensome Regulations to Increase Efficiency and Competitiveness
On March 31, 2015, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed an executive order immediately initiating a comprehensive review process for all regulations enforced by the Executive Department and leaving in place the regulatory pause announced by the administration earlier this year. Executive Branch agencies will be charged with ensuring each regulation is clear and concise and that any newly proposed regulations are measured for their potential impact on businesses of all sizes or other entities, including municipalities and non-profits.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) promulgates rules and regulations governing storage tanks in Massachusetts. As the Governor’s regulatory review process goes forward, there may be modifications proposed. Storage tank fabricators will want to monitor DEP’s activities in response to the Executive Order.
Agencies will submit regulatory proposals and impact statements to their secretariat for review by the Secretary of Administration and Finance who will establish a process for encouraging public input, standards and schedules. The business and competitiveness impact statements will also be made available on the Commonwealth’s website.
