Center for Regulatory Effectiveness

The Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE) is an industry-funded, for-profit think tank. It focuses on federal agency compliance with "good government" laws which regulate the regulators. These "good government" laws include the <a href="/facts/Data_Quality_Act/lMQH9wKs">Data Quality Act</a>, the <a href="/facts/Paperwork_Reduction_Act/zqcDsRHr">Paperwork Reduction Act</a>, Executive Orders on regulatory review, the Unfunded Mandates Act, the <a href="/facts/Regulatory_Flexibility_Act/CF0BWY4X">Regulatory Flexibility Act</a> and the Congressional Review Act.
CRE was formed by former career officials of the White House Office of Management and Budget. The head of the firm is <a href="/facts/Jim_Tozzi/UPm6n0Rp">Jim Tozzi</a>.
It has been criticised as a <a href="/facts/Front_organisation/GehX8Qql">front organisation</a> for industries which seek to undermine the regulatory process, notably by <a href="/facts/Chris_Mooney_(journalist)/2PLL1gjB">Chris C. Mooney</a> in his book <a href="/facts/The_Republican_War_on_Science/IGswhLSk">The Republican War on Science</a>.
One of CRE's projects to promote public participation in the regulatory process is the establishment of the <a href="/facts/Interactive_Public_Docket/gggPIrkT">Interactive Public Docket</a>.
