Choice Review
Cohen and Kamieniecki were affiliated with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) when the EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response contracted with NAPA to study the long-range policy issues associated with the passage of the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) in 1984. Specifically, they report how the researchers formulated a strategic regulatory design that would increase the probability of compliance with the HSWA's underground storage tank provisions. Both the EPA and the researchers noted that incremental and partial actions typically produced regulatory policy at the expense of more comprehensive and workable schemes. The table "Factors Affecting Regulatory Compliance" (p. 15) depicts a model for the probability of compliance by predicting the various results of combinations of three variables: capability, motivation, and feasibility. Apparently, the lesson here is that regulatory intent can be achieved only when these three variables are in concert, and that congressional efforts at regulation are rhetorical without a high probability of compliance. The issues of economic motivation and corporate behavior modification to reduce hazardous waste at source points is discussed in Hazardous Waste Minimization, ed. by Harry Freeman (CH, Jun'90).
