Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants the Commission the authority to publish reports and disseminate information. While this is related to the overall goal of regulating hazardous substances and caustic poisons, it does not specifically instruct the agency to create specific labeling requirements, administrative procedures, or import regulations as detailed in 21 CFR Part 1230. The statute provides broad authority related to publicity and information dissemination, but does not address the specific regulations outlined. Thus, 15 U.S.C. § 1272 provides general authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 15 U.S.C. § 1272, authorizes the Commission to publish reports and disseminate information about hazardous substances. The regulation, 21 CFR Part 1230, concerns regulations under the Federal Caustic Poison Act, and the statute 15 U.S.C. 1261-1276 is listed as the authority for these regulations. Thus the regulation is authorized, but not specifically mandated, by 15 U.S.C. § 1272 and the broader statute regarding hazardous substances.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1273
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifies particular regulatory tasks such as prescribing regulations related to the destruction or export of refused hazardous substances, regulations related to bonds, regulations determining expenses, and regulations requiring information for statements of exportation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1273 is explicitly listed as an authority for 16 CFR Part 1011, meaning the regulation is directly mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1273
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute specifically addresses import/export procedures, it doesn’t instruct the agency on the specific matter of creating a meetings policy to govern interactions between agency personnel and outside parties. The statute provides broad authority to regulate in order to achieve the goals of the Act (which Part 1012 arguably does), but does not outline specific parameters for meetings.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Secretary of Treasury to issue regulations concerning the import and export of hazardous substances. However, it doesn’t explicitly mandate the creation of 16 CFR Part 1012, which is specifically about meetings policy.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1273
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides clear instructions to the Commission regarding the regulation of imported and exported hazardous substances, including the specific requirement to notify foreign governments of exports of misbranded or banned substances and specifying information that must be collected through regulations. Although the statute uses open-ended terms, such as “as the Commission may by regulation require,” it nonetheless provides a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

Subsection (a), (b), and (c) of the statute specifically discuss the Secretary of Treasury and the Commission’s authority to create regulations pertaining to hazardous substances that are imported or offered for import into the United States. In addition, subsection (d) states the Commission may by regulation require specified information from any person who exports hazardous substances to a foreign country. The regulation at 16 CFR Part 1016 addresses policies and procedures for information disclosure and commission employee testimony in private litigation, which can be seen as directly related to the Commission’s regulatory functions under the statute to notify foreign governments of the exportation of misbranded or banned hazardous substances.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a specific task: publishing summaries of judgments and disseminating information about hazardous substances. While it uses the permissive “may,” it directs the agency towards a defined regulatory action related to publicity and information dissemination. Even though “may” implies discretion, the statute outlines the specific type of information and circumstances under which the agency can act.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1272 explicitly grants the Commission the authority (using “may”) to publish reports and disseminate information. This implies authorization but not a mandate; the Commission has discretion.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1272 grants the Commission the power to publicize information, it does not specifically instruct them on how to manage meetings or interactions with outside parties. The statute gives the agency broad discretion related to publicity. Therefore, it falls under the “General Authority” delegation according to Hickman’s framework.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute authorizes the Commission to publish reports and disseminate information. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1012, concerns meeting policies between agency personnel and outside parties. While both relate to the Commission’s operation and public transparency, the statute doesn’t explicitly mandate or authorize regulations about internal meeting procedures. The statute’s broad authorization for disseminating information is related to, but doesn’t directly command the specific procedural details of the regulation.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives the agency the express authority to disseminate information regarding hazardous substances and to publish reports summarizing judgments. Although the language “may cause to be published” gives discretion to the agency, it is still directing a specific regulatory task. This aligns with Hickman’s definition of Specific Authority Delegation, where even open-ended terms provide specific direction.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1272 grants the Commission the authority to publish reports and disseminate information regarding hazardous substances. It does not mandate that the Commission do so. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1016, establishes procedures for information disclosure, which is authorized by the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute addresses a specific area (publicity, reports, dissemination of information), it grants the Commission broad discretion in how to implement it. The statute doesn’t instruct on specific regulatory tasks but grants the commission power to decide how they want to deal with said area. This fits the definition of a general authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1272 authorizes the Commission to publish reports and disseminate information. It does not mandate that the Commission must do so, using the word “may.” The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1031, concerns the Commission’s participation in voluntary standards activities, which is related to disseminating information about hazardous substances and summarizing judgements, relating it to the general authority provided in the statute, however, the statute does not directly mandate the regulation.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1272
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. 1251-1289 is cited as the authority for the regulation, 15 U.S.C. § 1272 itself provides broad discretionary authority to disseminate information. It does not clearly instruct the agency (CPSC) on the specific regulatory task of defining and managing “inaccessible component parts” with respect to phthalates. The link between the general authority to inform the public and the specific rule is present, but not direct and explicit enough for “specific authority.”

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While 15 U.S.C. § 1272 deals with the dissemination of information related to hazardous substances, and 16 CFR Part 1199 pertains to phthalates in children’s toys, the statute does not directly mandate the specific regulation concerning inaccessible component parts containing phthalates. The statute authorizes information dissemination, which could relate to regulations on hazardous substances, but doesn’t explicitly authorize or mandate this particular type of regulation.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a specific regulatory task to the Commission: to enforce the provisions of the chapter by accessing and copying records related to interstate shipment of hazardous substances. This is a clear instruction on a specific regulatory task, even though the agency might have some discretion in how it carries out that task. While broad in the sense that it relates to the enforcement of the entire chapter, the power granted is for record access specifically. The statute explicitly grants authority to request and obtain specific information to fulfill their mandate.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S. Code § 1271) grants the Commission the authority to access and copy records related to interstate shipment of hazardous substances for the purpose of enforcing the chapter’s provisions. While the statute does not explicitly mandate specific regulations, it authorizes the agency to take actions (accessing records) to enforce the broader provisions of the chapter, which could necessitate the creation of regulations to clarify procedures for accessing records, handling confidential information, or defining “reasonable times” for access.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Commission on a specific regulatory task: accessing and copying records related to hazardous substances in interstate commerce to enforce the chapter’s provisions. The phrase “for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter” indicates a directed purpose.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S.C. § 1271) explicitly grants the Commission the authority to access and copy records related to the interstate shipment of hazardous substances for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the chapter. This directly mandates a regulatory function related to enforcement, which would include rulemaking.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1271 itself doesn’t directly authorize the specific regulation in 16 CFR Part 1199 concerning phthalates in children’s products, it provides the underlying basis for the agency’s enforcement and regulatory actions within the larger scope of hazardous substances. Considering the broad interpretive authority agencies often invoke, the delegation allowing regulation of hazardous substances can reasonably construed as Specific Authority since the agency’s action is implementing regulations surrounding a specific regulatory task related to the general regulation of Hazardous material.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1271 grants the Commission the authority to access and copy records related to the interstate shipment of hazardous substances for enforcement purposes. While 16 CFR Part 1199, which regulates phthalates in children’s toys and child care articles, falls under the broader umbrella of hazardous substances, the statute doesn’t explicitly mandate or authorize regulations regarding specific hazardous substances like phthalates or the accessibility of components. However, the statute is clearly related to the broader power of the agency to regulate hazardous substances.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1500
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 745
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute directs the Commission to permit its officers and employees to access and copy records of interstate shipment of hazardous substances. This is a very specific regulatory task to aid in enforcement of the chapter. The statute uses “reasonable times,” which Hickman would classify as specific even though it is open-ended.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly grants the Commission (formerly the Secretary) the authority to access and copy records related to the interstate shipment of hazardous substances for the purpose of enforcing the chapter’s provisions. This constitutes a direct mandate as it prescribes a specific action the agency can take to enforce the law.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute instructs the Commission on a specific regulatory task: accessing and copying records to enforce the chapter’s provisions regarding hazardous substances. The statute explicitly details what records can be accessed (movement, quantity, shipper, consignee) and the conditions under which access is permitted (reasonable times, written statement). This specificity aligns with the definition of Specific Authority Delegations.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1271 explicitly grants the Commission authority to access and copy records related to interstate shipment of hazardous substances for the purpose of enforcing the chapter, which includes regulations regarding the safe handling and labeling of hazardous substances, meaning the statute directly mandates actions that can be supported by regulation. 21 CFR Part 1230 is explicitly authorized by 15 U.S.C. 1261-1276.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations related to hazardous substances. While “for the purposes of this chapter” provides some open-endedness, it is specifically targeted at enabling the agency to investigate potentially hazardous substances. This aligns with a specific regulatory task tied to enforcement.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. 1251-1289 provides the general statutory framework for the regulation, and while 15 U.S.C. § 1270 provides specific authority for examinations, inspections, and investigations, the regulation concerning phthalates in inaccessible component parts, found in 16 CFR Part 1199, is authorized as part of the broader authority to ensure product safety but not directly mandated by this particular section.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1500
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 745
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Commission on the regulatory task of conducting examinations, inspections, and investigations. It details who is authorized to conduct these activities (officers and employees of the Commission or state health officers) and provides guidelines for how these activities should be conducted (reasonable times, with notice, receipt for samples). The statute does not just provide a broad rulemaking authority.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations for the purposes of the chapter. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1500, outlines the administration and enforcement regulations related to hazardous substances, directly implementing the statute’s authorization for inspections and investigations.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations. This directs the agency to a specific regulatory task even though the terms “reasonable times” and “reasonable manner” are used.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation cites 15 U.S.C. 1261-1276 as its authority. 15 U.S.C. 1270 falls within that range (1261-1276), thus the regulation is directly mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute directly instructs the Commission to request access to and copy records related to hazardous substances, setting forth a specific regulatory task in support of enforcing the provisions of the chapter.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly provides the Commission (formerly the Secretary) with the authority to access and copy records from carriers and persons handling hazardous substances in interstate commerce for the purpose of enforcing the chapter’s provisions. The regulation (16 CFR Part 1011) concerns the notice of agency activities and cites 15 U.S.C. 1261-74 as one of its authorities. Since 15 U.S.C. 1271 falls within this range (1261-74), the statute is directly mandating some agency action, even if it is not the focus of Part 1011.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1271
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1271 empowers the Commission to access records for enforcement, it doesn’t provide specific instructions on how the Commission should conduct its meetings or interact with outside parties. The statute primarily facilitates information gathering rather than mandating particular regulatory approaches to meetings. Therefore, though enforcement related, it does not have any specifics related to meetings. The statute does not clearly instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Commission to access and copy records for enforcing the chapter’s provisions, but it does not mandate any specific regulations regarding meetings policy. The relationship is authorized in that it concerns enforcing the chapter but is not directly mandated.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Commission on specific regulatory tasks by empowering the agency to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations, which requires setting parameters for how these activities are conducted and noticed to the public. While there are aspects of general authority, the specific nature of inspection protocols provided in the statute indicates a specific delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations, which is directly relevant to the topic of agency activities and, specifically, providing notice of these activities. The regulation provides the specific procedures for giving notice. The statute authorizes these activities but does not mandate the regulations.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute primarily focuses on examinations, inspections, and investigations related to hazardous substances, it also alludes to “officers and employees of the Commission” performing these tasks. The statute grants broad authority regarding how these tasks are to be carried out, and it explicitly uses terms like “reasonable times” and “reasonable manner.” The statute contains a clear instruction on a specific regulatory task or gap, even using open-ended terms like “appropriate,” “reasonable,” or “necessary”.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations for the purposes of the chapter, but it does not explicitly mandate regulations concerning meeting policies with outside parties. The regulations are authorized as they relate to the Commission’s overall functioning and transparency, but are not a direct requirement of the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

15 U.S.C. § 1261-74 is explicitly cited as authority for the regulation in 16 CFR Part 1016. This encompasses 15 U.S.C. § 1270. The statute provides specific authority to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations which would include setting policies and procedures for information disclosure and employee testimony related to those activities. Therefore, this falls under Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S.C. § 1270) authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations. While the statute provides the authority, it doesn’t mandate the Commission to issue regulations about information disclosure and employee testimony in private litigation. Thus, the regulation is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations. While the statute uses terms like “reasonable times,” “reasonable limits,” and “reasonable manner,” this falls under the “Specific Authority” category as it clearly instructs the agency on specific regulatory tasks related to examinations, inspections, and investigations for enforcement.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1270(a) explicitly authorizes the Commission to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations for the purposes of the chapter. This means the regulation of examinations and investigations is directly mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1119
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1270
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 3
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

15 U.S.C. § 1270 grants the Commission the authority to conduct examinations, inspections, and investigations. This provides specific authority for the agency to engage in regulatory tasks related to enforcement, which is directly tied to the civil penalties outlined in 16 CFR Part 1119.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1270 is explicitly listed as an authority for 16 CFR Part 1119. Therefore, the relationship is directly mandated.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1500
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 745
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Commission for the “efficient enforcement of this chapter” without specifying which regulations to enact. The reference to section 1273 provides a slightly more specific instruction for joint regulations with the Secretary of the Treasury, but the primary grant of authority in subsection (a) remains very broad and open-ended, and typical of a general authority delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly grants the Commission the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter. This directly mandates a relationship between the statute and the implementing regulations.
