Podcasts about Rulemaking

The Department of Education just dropped a negotiated rulemaking announcement, and while it might sound like dry policy talk, this one's worth your attention — especially if you're pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), on Pay As You Earn (PAYE), or using Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR). Learn what negotiated rulemaking actually means, why it matters, and what kinds of changes could be on the horizon for federal student loan repayment. We'll also walk through the strategy behind these proposed updates, what the timeline might look like, and the political and legal dynamics that could affect how this all plays out. Key moments: (03:20) My initial take: borrowers don't need to panic just yet — and here's why (05:35) What these changes could actually mean for PSLF borrowers (06:59) PAYE and ICR might be affected, but IBR is protected by statute  (10:49) The GOP proposal targets nonprofit hospitals, but I don't think it'll go anywhere (12:34) With 2026 elections in sight, student loan overhauls will probably stay pretty modest Like the show?

Tracing its origins to the Air Commerce Act of 1926, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was established in 1967 as an independent agency inside the U.S. DOT charged with investigating why transportation accidents happen. In 1974, it became an independent federal agency separate from the DOT. Although largely focused on aviation, the agency also investigates roadway, marine, pipeline, and railroad accidents, as well as those involving commercial space. Today, we talk with Robert L. Sumwalt—currently executive director of the Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and former chair of the NTSB—about that agency's ongoing mission to investigate accidents and recommend improvements that make travel safer for everyone who uses our transportation network. 

The Supreme Court will consider a case at the end of March that could limit Congress' ability to let federal regulators determine what public health and safety standards are necessary. Depending on what the court decides, any statute that grants discretion to an agency could be open for re-review, said Jessica Ellsworth, a partner at Hogan Lovells. "There's probably hundreds of thousands of places in the US code that there are terms used like 'in the public interest,' whether something is 'necessary' and 'appropriate,' whether something is 'reasonable,' whether something is 'fair' or 'unfair,' whether it's 'essential,'" she said. Ellsworth joins Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to discuss the nondelegation doctrine and how this legal principle, which the court has been asked to revive, could impact the federal telecom subsidy program at issue and other regulations more broadly. The hosts also chat about a social media post from President Donald Trump that garnered a rare response from Chief Justice John Roberts.

Across America, in sprawling university teaching facilities and in picturesque rural hospitals, administrators are dealing with a powerful tool called statistical extrapolation.When auditors say that they're using statistical “sampling” to review your Medicare claims, what they are often doing is using extrapolation – which could take what might appear to be minor discrepancies in your billing and turn them into major financial obligations.To learn more about extrapolation and what it means for you and your team, the producers of RACmonitor have invited senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen to be the special guest during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.The venerable weekly Internet broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior government affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on the latest news concerning healthcare legislation.

NCLA has filed an amicus curiae brief urging the Supreme Court to consider Chestek PLLC v. Vidal and prevent the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from bypassing notice-and-comment rulemaking. It is crucial that rules with significant economic impact are not issued without public input or consideration of all relevant information. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision below was erroneous as it effectively nullified a statute requiring the PTO to undergo notice-and-comment procedures before establishing rules. NCLA seeks Supreme Court intervention to correct this and reinstate the PTO's mandated accountability to the public. In their latest episode, Mark, Jenin, and Senior Litigation Counsel Greg Dolin discuss the details of the amicus brief.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Program Integrity and Institutional Quality Committee: A Focus on Distance Education and the Return of Title IV Funds. In this episode, host Drumm McNaughton is joined by Tom Netting, president of 10 Government Strategies, to discuss the recent Neg Reg 2024 proceedings and their implications for higher education institutions. They explore the key issues addressed during the negotiations, including distance education, accreditation, cash management, and more. The discussion highlights the importance of staying informed and engaged in the regulatory process to ensure the best outcomes for students and institutions alike.   Key Discussion Points Neg Reg 2024 March Consensus: One Out of Six The first quarter of the year focused on federal negotiated rulemaking, specifically the Program Integrity and Institutional Quality Committee. Consensus was achieved in one out of six major issues, which was related to trio and expanding access to grant assistance for students and immigrants. The Issue Where Consensus Was Achieved Consensus was reached on the issue of trio, which focused on expanding access to grant assistance for students and immigrants. The work of the subcommittee was well-received by the full committee, and the proposed changes to increase opportunities for these student populations were supported by the negotiators. The Five Issues Where Consensus Was Not Achieved Cash management State authorization Distance education Return to Title IV funds Accreditation and a complete rewrite of all accreditation Why is Neg Reg Important to Presidents, Boards, and Executive Levels of Higher Ed? Neg Reg provides an opportunity for the higher education community to discuss and negotiate regulatory compliance issues that affect the delivery of education and the responsibilities of the Department of Education and the Triad. Semantics Matter: Pay Close Attention to Neg Reg Revisions The specific wording of regulations, such as "must" versus "shall" or "may," can have significant implications for interpretation and enforcement. Higher education leaders must carefully review and scrutinize the language used in proposed regulations to ensure they align with the Department of Education's stated intent and do not result in unintended consequences for institutions or students. Clarity Around Consensus, Non-Consensus, and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking If consensus is not reached, the Department of Education can publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) based on the negotiations and public comments. Major Points from Neg Reg March 2024: Distance Education, Accreditation, NC-SARA, and Cash Management Proposed changes to NC-SARA, the national process for online education standards, were met with opposition from both institutions and states. The Department of Education appears to be moving more into the area of consumer protection in distance education. Accreditation: Rewriting Part 602 The Department of Education proposed a complete rewrite of accreditation standards, which was met with pushback from accreditors and institutions who felt it was overreaching. Cash Management, Tuition and Fees, Books and Supplies Proposed changes to cash management regulations would exclude books, supplies, and equipment from tuition and fees, requiring opt-in processes for each payment period. Why Higher Ed Leaders Need to Stay Involved in Neg Reg It's crucial for higher education leaders to stay informed about regulatory changes and provide input during public comment periods to ensure the best outcomes for their institutions and students. What's Happening on The Hill Key bills under consideration include the bipartisan year-round Pell proposal, the Making America Stronger Act (WIOA reauthorization), and the College Cost Reduction Act (student loan proposals). The 100 Percent Rule: Certifications and Licensures A new bill, the Clock Hour Program Student Protection Act, aims to restore the 150 percent timeline for institutions to provide comprehensive training for state licensure or certification exams. Title IX Revisions Title IX revisions are expected before July 4th, and there may be some surprising changes that could significantly impact higher education institutions.   Key March 2024 Neg Reg Takeaways for Higher Ed Leaders Higher education leaders should be prepared to advocate for their institutions and students, both on Capitol Hill and in response to Notices of Proposed Rulemaking. The issues discussed during Neg Reg 2024 will have significant implications for financial aid, IT departments, and other aspects of institutional operations. Final Thoughts  The Neg Reg 2024 proceedings have highlighted the complex and often contentious nature of higher education regulation. As the Department of Education continues to push for increased consumer protection and oversight, it is more important than ever for higher education leaders to stay engaged in the process and advocate for their institutions' and students' needs. By working together and providing thoughtful input during public comment periods, the higher education community can help shape regulations that support student success and institutional sustainability in the face of evolving challenges and opportunities.   Read the transcript on our website →   About Our Podcast Guest Tom Netting Having spent all of his professional career devoted to higher education policy oversight and implementation, Tom Netting has an extensive knowledge of the laws and regulations governing all aspects of higher education.

This week, we follow up on the conversation from two weeks ago in advance of the Texas Medical Board meeting. More than 2,000 Texans of faith signed Texas Impact's petition calling for a rulemaking process to define the abortion exception in Texas state law relating to the life and health of the mother. We spoke about Steve and Amy Bresnen, two Austin attorneys and lobbyists from the aptly named BresnenAssociates who submitted that official petition to the Texas Medical Board.  The Board did in fact begin the rulemaking process and introduced a draft rule for public comment. This week, we are fortunate to have the two petitioners, Amy and Steve Bresnen, for a conversation about that rule, the rulemaking process, and what YOU can do to help protect the lives and health of Texas women.  Find the form to submit public comments to the Texas Medical Board here.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6 finalized a long-awaited rule requiring thousands of publicly traded companies to disclose certain climate-related information. The final rule takes a narrower approach than what the SEC proposed in 2022; it also marks a significant change in the level of climate-related information that publicly listed companies must disclose in the US. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore key components of the SEC rule and its implications for investors and companies — as well as how it fits in the broader global climate disclosure landscape.  We talk with Cynthia Hanawalt, a Director at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, a think tank at Columbia Law School; she gives us an overview of the rule's requirements.   We speak to Bruno Sarda from professional services company EY, where he focuses on climate change and sustainability services. Bruno says a key message from the rule is that “climate risk is financial risk ... companies need to be ready to both measure, manage and communicate that risk."  We hear from Kristina Wyatt, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer at carbon accounting software company Persefoni, about how the rule fits into the broader global disclosure landscape.   And to understand what's on the horizon for the rule, we hear from Elizabeth Dawson, a Partner at law firm Crowell & Moring where she is a leader on the ESG advisory team and Chair of the Sustainability Committee.  Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 about the current US landscape for corporate climate disclosure: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/after-sec-rulemaking-assessing-the-us-climate-disclosure-landscape   Listen to the podcast episode we released when the SEC proposed its climate disclosure rule in 2022: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/unpacking-implications-of-the-sec-s-proposed-climate-disclosure-rule   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.     Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global     DISCLAIMER     By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

At the core of the regulatory state is the notice and comment process. Agencies propose what they're going to do, the public gets to comment, and agencies have to respond to those comments. It's an imperfect system, to be sure, but it's fundamental to making sure that agencies act with good information and with democratic legitimacy.So what happens when those comments start being made not by people, but by ChatGPT or other large language models? Or how about when agencies themselves use these AI tools to analyze the comments they receive, or even perhaps to write the regulations themselves?To talk through these issues, Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke with Bridget Dooling and Mark Febrizio, both of the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center. They spoke about their recent Brooking Institution report on the issue and how they think the regulatory state should deal with generative AI.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
