Getting more citizens involved: open government solutions from OMB

From the Events page on the Brookings Institution web site:

“Electronic rulemaking, or e-rulemaking, provides government agencies with the use of digital technologies to streamline cumbersome decision-making processes. But, as with all brave new world approaches to better governance, the new technology raises new questions.

“On November 30, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings and the Administrative Conference of the United States hosted a public forum to explore how new technologies can promote more effective public participation and greater efficiency in the rulemaking process. Administrative Conference Chairman Paul Verkuil provided introductory remarks and Cass Sunstein, the senior White House official on regulatory review, explained the administration’s commitment to e-rulemaking. Darrell West, vice president and director of Governance Studies, moderated the discussion.

“The first panel, consisting of senior state and federal officials, reviewed progress in meeting the challenges that have arisen in the implementation of electronic rulemaking.”

The panel included Neil Eisner, Assistant General Counsel for Regulation and Enforcement at the Department of Transportation; Scott Pattison, Executive Director of the National Association of State Budget Officers; and Steven VanRoekel, Managing Director at the Federal Communications Commission. I played highlights of Mr. Sunstein’s speech and the panel. I’ll conclude the first panel on tomorrow’s show.
