...Week 2 Homework-Administrative Regulations K’Asha Nesbitt November 9, 2013 1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interest you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Food and Drug Administration controls the regulation. This particular regulation interests me because I am a Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE) patient and I have been suffering from this illness for over 10 years. There is a chance that somewhere in the near future I could develop Lupus Nephritis (LN) (renal disease stemming from SLE). Yes, this regulation could affect me in a positive manner. If the FDA approves treatment and new drugs to help suppress SLE, this could mean less people will develop LN. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The proposal is to create guidance for unmet medical needs for more effective and less toxic treatments. This proposal will help to develop human drugs, therapeutic biological products and medical devices for the treatment of Lupus Nephritis caused by Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE). 3. Write the public comment that you would have written. Explain briefly what you wish to accomplish with your comment. My comment is that more people are developing this debilitating disease and there aren’t many drugs and treatments that help to suppress the inflammation. I was diagnosed...

...1. The administrative agency that controls the regulation is the Federal government (Department of Education). I strongly believe that education has a huge positive impact on the society. It is a must if a nation desires to attain growth and development and more importantly, maintain it. The Department of Education recognizes and keeps the importance of economic education which is why the agency and their proposed regulation interest me. The agency helps promote student achievement by all means and helps provide equal access to education for all. The proposed regulation would affect me both positively and negatively because it is a regulation that might help reduce my student debt loan at the end of my school days but at the same time, it would cut funding to thousands of job training program I might need to increase my employability and future earnings down the line. 2. The proposed regulation is meant to define the “gainful employment” requirement for federal student aid. The Department of Education is concerned that students enrolling in some school programs especially in for profit schools (e.g. Devry University), usually find themselves unemployable in those anticipated career fields and burdened with large student loan debts at the end, with no job to pay for it. With that in mind, the department of education proposed the regulation to make sure that students who are enrolled in any gainful employment programs must be guaranteed that those programs provide value,...

...Javontae Peet Administrative Regulations assign. Legal, Political and Ethical Dimensions Professor Cary Sliverstein July 18, 2011 Administrative Regulations Assignment (1)The administrative agency in which I choose to use is the Small Business Administration (SBA). The reason why this agency and the proposed regulation are interests of mine is due to me working towards owing my own business in the future. The way this regulation that has been proposed may affect me, is by my company attempting to lend funds for expanding the business in the future. (2)The proposed rule made by the Small Business Administration is on Business Loan Programs and Lender Examination and Review Fees. This proposed rule is geared towards a recent amendment to the Small Business Act authorizing the Small Business Administration to assess fees to lenders participating in SBA's 7(a) loan guarantee program to cover the costs of examinations, reviews, and other Lender Oversight activities. (3)In my public comment I would propose that the loan guarantee program should cover the costs of examinations, reviews, and other Lender Oversight activities.

...1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The subject of immigration is well known among students, workers, and employers, and in fact, to most everyone residing within the United States. For me, this topic is especially significant as I myself was once a foreign student who went through the immigration process. However, from the promulgation of the first immigration law in the 1950s, these laws have evolved and have affected all individuals in one way or another. In 2000, a proposal for immigration reform was brought to Congress due to the shortages of workers in the food industry (Robin, 2000). Immigration laws have changed several times since then. What is the relation between the 2000 and 2008 laws? In February 2008, the Department of Homeland Security proposed amendments to its immigration regulations. More specifically, The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and U.S. Customs and Border Protection presented a proposal affecting all H-2A nonimmigrant workers. Businesses in particular needed to understand what was changing and how it affected them and their employees. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The proposal offered various new regulations and limitations imposed on U.S. employers and H-2A nonimmigrant workers. Some of the proposed changes included the limitations...

...1.State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The proposed regulation that is of interest is “Removing Any References to or Reliance on Credit Ratings in Commission Regulations; Proposing Alternatives to the Use of Credit” submitted by Commodity Futures Trading Commission or CFTC. I am interested in this regulation because I deal with swaps trading every day. This proposed regulation will most likely not affect my company because we invest in the more standardized derivatives. We also have internal auditors to oversee how we invest our clients’ funds. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The proposed change is about clarifying and standardizing the current legislation on swaps. As it stands now, the regulations on swaps trading on few and far between. Along with those regulations are privately-run, for-profit credit rating agencies. These two problems combined are how Goldman Sachs was able to swindle their investors and likely why this regulation was originally proposed. Many investors looking to engage in a swap transaction first have to decided what type of swap they would like to enter into. I will use an Interest Rate Swap or IRS as reference for my example (although an IRS is one of the more basic and regulated swaps). An IRS is a swap where investors decide on a notional...

...1. The administrative agencies that control this regulation: The Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and subsequently, the Small Business Administration. This regulation would affect me as a small business owner because it would change the way all levels of government do business with privately -held small businesses, such as mine. 2. This is a proposal to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to include government-wide, standardized past performance evaluation factors and ratings categories, and that this past performance information be entered into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). 3. My comment: While I concur that the FAR should be amended in this way, I believe that the current proposal is too vague to be effective. Standardizations tend to group things into categories that are either “black” or “white”, causing a great injustice to those who would only fit in areas of “gray”. Therefore, I suggest a thorough investigation into the actual effects that the proposal would have on all businesses- large and small, experienced and novel, old and new, etc. I also believe this proposal should not be enacted until real evidence, showing complete equality and fairness among all businesses, is presented to and reviewed by the public. 4. This expires on November 5, 2012 5. A. Based on the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946, if I choose, I would...

This interests me because I burn very easily and this regulation will make going to the beach expensive.

...Administrative Regulations (Assignment 2) One of the many duties of the Department of Justice, a U.S. federal agency, is to enforce federal laws which include the enforcement of the law and defend the interest of the American people. In other words, the Department of Justice is an agency created to protect our rights as citizens from domestic and international threat and harm. My proposed regulation of interest, “National Standards To Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape “ is a compilation of recommendations prepared in April 2010 by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission (PREA) and presented to the Department of Justice in pursuant to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. It’s important that people who care about our basic human rights as a whole not forget about those who are having these rights violated when serving their prison time in a correctional institution behind bars. Despite the person’s crime, their rights can’t be taken away and sadly, in some circumstances and environments we have to remind others that these rights remain active and lack enforcement. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, “among inmates who reported inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization, 13% of male prison inmates and 19% of male jail inmates said they were victimized within the first 24 hours after admission, compared to 4% of female inmates in prison and jail”. Sadly, it is the resistance to culture change by correctional staff and inmates alike that presents...

...id=723 .. v I believe there are times when a company needs to set aside economic advantage to help society. As good example is during war or national emergency. Usually during these times companies set aside their economic advantages to back the nation. Car manufactures start producing military vehicles and the patents they hold can make the vehicles better for societal good. Since the rules of a free market are essentially but on hold and placed under government control, the patents became less leverage. In the same sense, so should Bayer. Bayer's corporate policy seems to oriented towards the Enlightened Self-Interest as evident in the order of listing (stock holders first). In this instance Bayer seemed to follow government regulations (especially when it came to their patent on apirin) and believe that serving society as a whole benefits the stockholders. They do state that they have a responsibility to the community but it is listed last. Their moral question should have been server, the larger society first and then then the...

...Professional Regulation and Criminal Liability in Delaware Lorna J. Granston 05/26/14 HCS 430 Dr. J. Kaplan There are statutes that regulate health care professional on a federal level. It can be difficult to regulate professional on that level, therefore, there are also regulatory bodies on the State level. Regulatory statutes on the State level can offer specific policy and procedures for professional licensure, credentialing, certification and registration for those in health care. Each State in responsible for having specific regulation. Per the American Medical Association (AMA),” the process of obtaining a medical license--either initial licensure or a second or subsequent license in another state--can be a challenging process” (American Medical Association, 2014). The state statutes can be more complicated, but they ensure that professionals are properly prepared to perform health care services for a specific community. In Delaware there are state laws that are followed by state regulatory agency. The Registrar’s office which is part of Delaware’s General Assemble is responsible for the Administrative Code of Regulations and the Delaware On-line Statutory Code. This office is also the official repository of all regulations for the State of Delaware. Title 24 of this code of regulations is directed specifically to Professions and Occupations in the state of Delaware. Within Title 24, Chapter 17 is the Medical Practice Act. The Delaware agency that implements...
