    An interim final rule contains a request for comments with a review period for these comments, while a direct final rule goes into effect on a specific date if no adverse comments are received.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An interim final rule is a type of rule that is implemented immediately but also allows for public comments and review during a specific period of time. This means that the rule is in effect while the comments are being collected and reviewed. On the other hand, a direct final rule is implemented on a specific date without any further review if no adverse comments are received. Therefore, the statement is true as it accurately describes the difference between these two types of rules.

    • Regulatory Plan

    • Regulatory Flexibility Agenda

    • Regulatory Strategic Plan

    • Unified Regulatory Agenda

    Correct Answer
    A. Unified Regulatory Agenda
    Explanation
    The Unified Regulatory Agenda provides information concerning agency rules under development or review. This agenda is a comprehensive list of regulatory actions that federal agencies plan to take in the near future. It includes information on the purpose and timing of each regulatory action, as well as the agency responsible for implementing it. The Unified Regulatory Agenda is an important tool for keeping the public informed about upcoming regulations and allows stakeholders to provide input and feedback during the rulemaking process.

    What type of agency is exempt from OMB review?

    • Rulemaking agencies

    • Independent agencies

    • Enforcing agencies

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Independent agencies
    Explanation
    Independent agencies are exempt from OMB (Office of Management and Budget) review. Unlike rulemaking agencies and enforcing agencies, which are subject to OMB review, independent agencies have the authority to operate autonomously and are not directly controlled by the executive branch of the government. This exemption allows independent agencies to make decisions and implement policies without the need for OMB approval or oversight.

    It is an office under the Office of Management and Budget tasked to review draft regulations under Executive Order 12866.

    • Government Accountability Office (GAO)

    • Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA)

    • Office of Congressional Review

    • D. US General Services Administration

    Correct Answer
    A. Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA)
    Explanation
    The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is the correct answer because it is the office under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that is responsible for reviewing draft regulations under Executive Order 12866. OIRA plays a crucial role in ensuring that federal regulations are consistent with the priorities of the current administration and that they do not impose unnecessary burdens on businesses and individuals. By reviewing and analyzing draft regulations, OIRA helps to ensure that the regulatory process is efficient and effective.

    How many days is the standard comment period for a regulation?/i>

    • 90 days

    • 60 days

    • 30 days

    • 10 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 60 days
    Explanation
    The standard comment period for a regulation is typically 60 days. During this time, individuals and organizations are given the opportunity to provide their feedback, opinions, and suggestions on the proposed regulation. This allows for a thorough and comprehensive review of the regulation before it is finalized and implemented. A 60-day comment period provides sufficient time for stakeholders to study the regulation, gather relevant information, and submit their comments for consideration by the regulatory body.

    EEOC is an independent agency

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the EEOC, which stands for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is indeed an independent agency. It was created by the U.S. Congress to enforce federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and genetic information. As an independent agency, the EEOC operates outside of direct control from the executive branch of the government, allowing it to carry out its duties impartially and without political influence.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Congress cannot change a final rule.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Congress has the power to change or overturn a final rule. As the legislative branch of the government, Congress can pass new laws or amend existing ones to modify or revoke regulations established by federal agencies. This allows Congress to have oversight and control over the rulemaking process and ensures that they can make changes if they deem it necessary or appropriate. Therefore, the statement that Congress cannot change a final rule is false.

    All rulemaking undergoes review in OMB

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "All rulemaking undergoes review in OMB" is false. OMB stands for the Office of Management and Budget, which is responsible for reviewing and coordinating the federal budget. While OMB may review some rulemaking, it does not review all rulemaking. Rulemaking is a process by which federal agencies propose and establish regulations, and this process involves various steps and reviews, including public comment periods and agency-specific reviews, but not all of them go through OMB.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Branch of government that is assigned to interpret laws and regulations.

    • Judiciary

    • Executive

    • Legislative

    • Supreme Court

    Correct Answer
    A. Judiciary
    Explanation
    The branch of government that is assigned to interpret laws and regulations is the judiciary. This branch is responsible for ensuring that laws are applied correctly and fairly. It consists of courts, judges, and other judicial officials who are tasked with interpreting and applying the law to resolve disputes and administer justice. The judiciary's role is crucial in upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights and liberties.
