Regulations should only be enacted with an automatic expiration date not to
exceed 5 years. Regulations have a way of "piling up" because that's how
bureaucrats ensure their jobs. An agency publishes a "proposed rule" in
the Federal Register. This is the only opportunity for public comment,
usually less than 3 months. The comments received may or may not
influence the final rule published in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Once in the CFR, you're stuck with it.
How do I know? I'm in regulatory enforcement....
