Abstract
Abstract The 1970s marked the advent of a new wave of regulation of health, safety, and the environment.1 Congress created a series of new agencies with broad responsibilities, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Although some of these agencies consolidated the functions previously dispersed among other smaller agencies, the sweeping legislative mandates given to these agencies marked a dramatic increase in the level of regulation of the American economy. Congress directed these agencies to promote health, safety, and environmental quality almost without compromise.
