Unfunded Mandates Reform Act: History, Impact, and Issues
ISBN: 9781503020207 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) culminated years of effort by state and local government officials and business interests to control, if not eliminate, the imposition of unfunded intergovernmental and private-sector federal mandates. Advocates argued the statute was needed to forestall federal legislation and regulations that imposed obligations on state and local governments or businesses that resulted in higher costs and inefficiencies. Opponents argued that federal mandates may be necessary to achieve national objectives in areas where voluntary action by state and local...

Air Traffic Inc.: Considerations Regarding the Corporatization of Air Traffic Control
ISBN: 9781507543894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the past 40 years, Congress has intermittently considered proposals to establish a government corporation or private entity to carry out air traffic functions currently provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

In January 2014, the FAA Management Advisory Council, a stakeholder advisory group, recommended spinning off FAA's air traffic...

Child welfare services are intended to prevent the abuse or neglect of children; ensure that children have safe, permanent homes; and promote the well-being of children and their families.

Most of those dollars (97%-98%) were provided to state, tribal, or territorial child welfare agencies (via formula grants or as federal...

U.S. Rail Transportation of Crude Oil: Background and Issues for Congress
ISBN: 9781505450798 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. North America is experiencing a boom in crude oil supply, primarily due to growing production in the Canadian oil sands and the recent expansion of shale oil production from the Bakken fields in North Dakota and Montana as well as the Eagle Ford and Permian Basins in Texas. Taken together, these new supplies are fundamentally changing the U.S. oil supply-demand balance. The United States now meets 66% of its crude oil demand from production in North America, displacing imports from overseas and positioning the United States to have excess oil and refined products supplies in some regions. The...

Carbon Tax and Greenhouse Gas Control: Options and Considerations for Congress
ISBN: 9781499311372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Market-based mechanisms that limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be divided into two types: quantity control (e.g., cap-and-trade) and price control (e.g., carbon tax or fee). To some extent, a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade program would produce similar effects: Both are estimated to increase the price of fossil fuels, which would ultimately be borne by consumers, particularly households. Although there are multiple tools available to policymakers that could control GHG emissions-including existing statutory authorities-this report focuses on a carbon tax approach and how it compares to...

ISBN: 9781505321678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

As the Internet grows and becomes more pervasive in all aspects of modern society, the question of how it should be governed becomes more pressing. Currently, an important aspect of the Internet is governed by a private sector,...
