...Dorothy Scroggins GM520 - Week 2 Assignment Administrative Law Assignment SEP10 1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? I chose the Department of Public Safety, Division 45: Missouri Gaming Commission, Chapter 5: Conduct of Gaming. One of the many benefits Casinos love to share is that money from their profits will go to a public school fund. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The Gaming Commission is proposing an amendment to 11 CSR 45-5.051, Minimum Standards for Blackjack. The amendment will allow a floor supervisor (Pit-Boss) may direct the dealer to shuffle the cards after any round of play is completed and all wagers have been resolved. It won’t affect me directly but depending on how the Pit-Boss uses this internal control method, it could help or harm the Fund that is generated for Public Schools. Shuffling the cards in the middle is a deck is used to stop the current momentum. If the player(s) at the table are hot then this can break a streak that is cutting into the Casino’s profits. In this case it’s a win for the Public School Fund. 3. Write the public comment which you would submit to this proposal. If the proposed regulation deadline has already passed, write the comment you would have submitted. Explain briefly what you wish to accomplish with your...

...law and politics, is considered a special characteristic of international economic law and of international environmental law. According to Davis and Nachura, an administrative body is any governmental organ or authority, other than a court or legislative body, which affects the rights of private parties, through rule-making and adjudication. An administrative body is described as a department, bureau, office, commission, authority or officer of the National Government authorized by law or executive order to make rules, issue licenses, grant rights or privileges, and adjudicate cases; research institutions with respect to licensing functions; government corporations with respect to functions regulating private right, privilege, occupation or business; and officials in the exercise of disciplinary powers as provided by law. An example is the establishment of the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) by article 216 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. Due to the fact that administrative bodies or agencies possess discretionary powers, they will inevitably make use of administrative guidelines or administrative rules that supplement rules in laws and statutes. These administrative rules are the soft law every organization applies in decision-making . These soft laws are employed by administrative...

Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interest you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Food and Drug Administration controls the regulation. This particular regulation interests me because I am a Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE) patient and I have been suffering from this illness for over 10 years. There is a chance that somewhere in the near future I could develop Lupus Nephritis (LN) (renal disease stemming from SLE). Yes, this regulation could affect me in a positive manner. If the FDA approves treatment and new drugs to help suppress SLE, this could mean less people will develop LN. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The proposal is to create guidance for unmet medical needs for more effective and less toxic treatments. This proposal will help to develop human drugs, therapeutic biological products and medical devices for the treatment of Lupus Nephritis caused by Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE). 3.

...1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you. AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. This regulation interests me because I am concerned about the proliferation of ‘Puppy Mills’ in Florida. These ‘Puppy Mills’ are operated by individuals that are more interested in profits then the needs of the animals they breed or the public. Irresponsible breeders cause an unnecessary increase in the pet population which increases the number of unwanted animals that fill animal shelters and are later euthanized. These breeders also introduce genes into breeds that can increase illness and disease in the animals. 2. Describe the proposal/change The APHIS proposes a change is to the definition of retail pet store from a physical location that is used for the purpose of observing the animal before purchase to any seller which; this would require individuals selling animals over the internet comply to the same set of standards that physical retailers must adhere to under the Animal Welfare Act. APHIS would also like to increase the number of breeding female that a person may have on site and not need a license or inspections; this will allow the agency to focus on the facilities that are most likely in violation with the regulations covered by the Animal Welfare Act. 3. Write the public comment that you would submit to this proposal. I support the rule change in part as it will...

...1. The administrative agency that controls the regulation is the Federal government (Department of Education). I strongly believe that education has a huge positive impact on the society. It is a must if a nation desires to attain growth and development and more importantly, maintain it. The Department of Education recognizes and keeps the importance of economic education which is why the agency and their proposed regulation interest me. The agency helps promote student achievement by all means and helps provide equal access to education for all. The proposed regulation would affect me both positively and negatively because it is a regulation that might help reduce my student debt loan at the end of my school days but at the same time, it would cut funding to thousands of job training program I might need to increase my employability and future earnings down the line. 2. The proposed regulation is meant to define the “gainful employment” requirement for federal student aid. The Department of Education is concerned that students enrolling in some school programs especially in for profit schools (e.g. Devry University), usually find themselves unemployable in those anticipated career fields and burdened with large student loan debts at the end, with no job to pay for it. With that in mind, the department of education proposed the regulation to make sure that students who are enrolled in any gainful employment programs must be guaranteed that those programs provide value,...

It interests me because this regulation would increase the safety of individuals. I feel really comfortable and safer since I utilize the rail transportation everyday.

Describe the proposal/change. Proposal emphasis on the training of the railroad employees perhaps which might reduce the frequency and severity of certain accidents. FRA is requiring that each employer of one or more safety-related railroad employees (whether the employer is a railroad, contractor, or subcontractor) train and qualify each such employee on the Federal railroad safety laws, regulations, and orders that the employee is required to comply with, as well as any relevant railroad rules and procedures promulgated to implement those Federal railroad safety laws, regulations, and orders. The final rule also requires that the training program developed by each employer be submitted to FRA for approval...

(10 points) After the events of 9/11, I developed a strong interest in security and protection from terrorism. Once President Bush announced the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, I became even more intrigued, with thousands of questions flooding my mind. Will this department guarantee 100% protection? How will the lines of communication between government officials/law enforcement personnel strengthen or weaken? What type of strategies will the department be capable of implementing? More important, will there be a sacrifice of rights/freedoms with this new development? This last question is what peaked my interest in my choice of regulation: U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s proposal of a new intelligence system of records (Analytical Framework for Intelligence or AFI) and it’s notice of exemption from the 1974 Privacy Act.

The agency under the USDA for which the departmental proposed regulation falls is the Food and Nutrition Service, (FNS); the FNS works to reduce hunger among low-income populations providing greater access to higher nutritional standards with the aid of the U.S. agriculture (www.USDA.gov).

...Administrative Agency Week 2 Assignment MGMT 520 1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The regulation I have decided to follow is governed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As an avid animal lover, I am very interested in the regulations proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. This particular proposal surrounding chimpanzees is close to my heart since there are a great number of laboratories performing testing on chimpanzees every day. Chimps often die as a result of the testing being performed. Chimpanzees are becoming more endangered both in the wild and in captivity. While this proposed regulation has no direct effect on my current business, there would be indirect effects relating to the laboratory experiments or lack thereof. If laboratories were unable to use chimpanzees to test medications and make up for example, there could be a decrease in the production of these products. A decrease of production in these products could result in higher costs for the consumer. 2. Describe the proposal/change. (10 points) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife propose that all chimpanzees, both wild and in captivity, be placed on the endangered species list. After a 5 year review of the species, it has been determined that there should be no distinction between wild and...
