- Title
Judicial Deference and the Credibility of Agency Commitments.
- Authors
Masur, Jonathan
- Abstract
The article discusses whether U.S. agencies are credible in actualizing the regulatory missions it institutionalized. It was stated that the difficulty of an administrative agency to win over a refractory third party in the U.S. Congress to realize its mission, created a notion that the agency lacks the credibility in adhering to its commitment. Such description was manifested by the hypothetical examples cited wherein it was inferred that the difficulties of the agencies to accomplish its objective is taken from the fact that they cannot commit to consistent, stable policies. Moreover, it was stressed that the agencies do not have the mechanism to assure that future administrations will stay sincere to the regulatory choices of the agencies.
