Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1501
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 5
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute uses broad language, vesting authority in the Commission “to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of this chapter.” This grants broad rulemaking authority without specifying particular regulatory tasks or identifying gaps that the Commission must fill through regulation, fitting Hickman’s definition of a General Authority delegation. While section 1269(b) refers specifically to section 1273, section 1269(a) uses very general wording, thus this would be considered a general authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S.C. § 1269) authorizes the Commission (formerly the Secretary) to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter, but it does not explicitly mandate any specific regulation. The regulation in question (16 CFR Part 1501) falls under the umbrella of “efficient enforcement” but is not explicitly required by the statute.

15 U.S.C. § 1269(a) explicitly grants the Commission (formerly the Secretary) the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter. The regulation cites 15 U.S.C. 1269(a) in its authority section. This demonstrates a direct mandate for the regulation-making authority.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1702
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 64
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants broad rulemaking authority to the Commission for the “efficient enforcement of this chapter.” While it mentions a specific goal (“efficient enforcement”), it doesn’t identify any specific regulatory tasks or gaps that the agency must address through rulemaking. It’s a broad mandate to regulate to achieve efficient enforcement.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute, 15 U.S.C. § 1269(a), explicitly vests the Commission with the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of “this chapter,” which directly mandates the creation of regulations. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1702, concerns petitions for exemptions related to poison prevention packaging, an area of enforcement covered by the chapter the statute refers to.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Commission for the “efficient enforcement of this chapter.” It does not instruct the agency on any specific regulatory tasks, instead giving it discretion to determine what regulations are necessary for efficient enforcement. Though the statute references section 1273, the directive is still centered around ‘efficient enforcement’ broadly.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S. Code § 1269) explicitly grants the Commission the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter, making the statute-regulation relationship directly mandated. The regulation itself (21 CFR Part 1230) cites 15 U.S.C. 1261-1276 as its authority, further solidifying this connection. 15 U.S.C. 1269 falls within this range.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute mentions “efficient enforcement,” it doesn’t specify any particular regulatory tasks or gaps that the Commission must address. The phrase “efficient enforcement” is broad and open-ended, granting the agency considerable discretion in determining what regulations are necessary. This makes it a general delegation of rulemaking authority.

Relationship: directly mandated

The statute delegates authority to the Commission to promulgate regulations for the “efficient enforcement of this chapter,” which is quite broad. While it mentions a specific section in subsection (b), the overarching authority in subsection (a) provides a general grant of power. The statute doesn’t identify specific regulatory tasks or gaps that the Commission must address; it allows them to determine what regulations are necessary for efficient enforcement.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S. Code § 1269) explicitly authorizes the Commission to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter. However, it does not mandate the creation of any specific regulation. The phrase “Authority…is vested in the Commission” indicates permissive, not mandatory, rulemaking.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Commission for the “efficient enforcement of this chapter” without specifying particular regulatory tasks. While it references section 1273, the primary delegation in subsection (a) is broad. Therefore, this falls under General Authority.

The statute explicitly vests the Commission with the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter, making it a directly mandated relationship.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1269
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute gives the Commission broad rulemaking authority (“efficient enforcement of this chapter”) without specifying particular regulatory tasks or gaps to be addressed. It is thus not a specific delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1269(a) provides the Commission with the authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient enforcement of the chapter. The statute doesn’t explicitly mandate that regulations must be created, but empowers the Commission to do so. Therefore the statute authorizes, but does not mandate, the regulation.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1268 concerns legal proceedings, the broader chapter it belongs to grants the agency authority to enforce regulations related to hazardous substances. 16 CFR Part 1016 falls under the general authority of the CPSC to manage its operations and enforce its statutory mandates, but no specific regulatory task is outlined in the statute beyond enforcement authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1268 outlines the procedures for legal proceedings under the chapter it belongs to (dealing with misbranded or banned hazardous substances). While the statute itself doesn’t mandate specific regulations, it authorizes the agency (now the Consumer Product Safety Commission) to enforce the chapter, implying that regulations may be needed for effective enforcement and to manage information disclosure and employee testimony in litigation related to that enforcement. The regulation (16 CFR Part 1016) deals with policies and procedures for information disclosure and employee testimony, which are related to the enforcement proceedings outlined in the statute.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1261-1276 is listed as authority for the regulation, the regulation itself concerns “Commission Participation and Commission Employee Involvement in Voluntary Standards Activities”. The underlying statute (15 U.S.C. § 1268) concerns judicial proceedings and subpoenas. While the statute supports the overall enforcement powers of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, it doesn’t speak to the specific regulatory goal of how the commission will participate in voluntary standards activities, making the connection broad and general.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1261-1276 is cited as authority for 16 CFR Part 1031. While §1268 itself does not directly mandate the regulation in question, it is part of the chapter of the U.S. Code listed as authority for the regulation; therefore, it is authorized, but not mandated.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The CFR cites 15 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1289 as its authority. This is a broad range of statutes including things such as bans of hazardous toys and articles, and requirements for labeling of hazardous substances. Therefore, the delegation is better categorized as General Authority, as the statute provides broad rulemaking authority without specific regulatory tasks identified.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1268 outlines legal proceedings and subpoena powers related to the enforcement of the chapter it belongs to (which is within 15 U.S.C. §§ 1261-1278 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act). 16 CFR Part 1199 provides guidance on phthalates in children’s toys and care articles, and its authority stems from 15 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1289. While both relate to enforcement and hazardous substances in consumer products, § 1268 does not directly mandate or explicitly authorize the specific guidance in 16 CFR Part 1199. However they are related as they fall under the umbrella of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1500
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 745
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute provides the basis for enforcement actions related to hazardous substances, it does not specifically instruct the agency (CPSC) on how to regulate or address specific gaps in hazardous substance control. It provides broad authority to take legal action to enforce the chapter’s provisions, which implies a broader rulemaking authority is needed to define what constitutes a violation and how enforcement should occur.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute outlines the legal proceedings (criminal, libel, injunction) for enforcing or restraining violations of the chapter it belongs to. While it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations, it authorizes actions that would necessitate regulatory frameworks to define violations, enforcement processes, and related procedures. The transfer of functions to the Consumer Product Safety Commission further implies authorization for the agency to create regulations to fulfill these responsibilities.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1268 discusses enforcement, the regulations in 21 CFR Part 1230 cover labeling, administrative procedures, and imports related to caustic poisons. The statute gives general authority to enforce the chapter, including regulating items within the chapter. It doesn’t specify particular regulatory tasks or gaps to fill, so the regulations are enacted under a more General delegation of authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1268 discusses enforcement proceedings and subpoena powers related to violations of the chapter (which includes sections 1261-1276). 21 CFR Part 1230 explicitly states that it is issued under the authority of 15 U.S.C. 1261-1276. Therefore, the regulations are authorized by the statute, but the statute does not mandate these specific regulations.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1199
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1289 (which encompasses 15 U.S.C. § 1267) is provided as the authorizing statute for the regulation, it is a broader delegation providing authority to regulate hazardous substances. The regulation addresses a specific issue (phthalates), but the statute broadly authorizes the agency to regulate hazardous substances generally. It doesn’t specify the regulatory tasks like phthalates.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1267 concerns the jurisdiction of US district courts and trial procedures for criminal contempt violations. It doesn’t directly mandate or authorize the creation of regulations concerning phthalates in children’s toys. However, the chapter that 15 U.S.C. § 1267 is part of (15 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1289) is cited as authority for 16 CFR Part 1199.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1500
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 745
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1267 does not directly delegate authority to an agency to promulgate rules, the “Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries” section states that the functions of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare were transferred to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The chapter this statute is within, provides broad rulemaking authority to the CPSC, including the authority to enforce the provisions through injunctions as outlined in 15 U.S.C. § 1267. Thus, the delegation falls under General Authority because it allows for the CPSC to implement and enforce the broader chapter.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1267 provides jurisdiction to U.S. district courts and the U.S. courts of the territories to restrain violations of the chapter. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1500, enforces the chapter and the statutes within it, concerning hazardous substances and articles. Therefore, the regulations are authorized by the statute, but not directly mandated.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The regulations explicitly cite the entire range of 15 U.S.C. §§ 1261-1276 as the authority for the rules. This encompasses broad authority concerning the regulation of hazardous substances including requirements for warning labels, sales prohibitions, and substances considered hazardous. The agency is not given a specific task, but rather broad authority to implement the overall goals of the Act.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1267 concerns injunctions and trials for violations of the chapter in which it is located. 21 CFR Part 1230 implements the Federal Caustic Poison Act under the authority of 15 U.S.C. §§ 1261-1276. While Section 1267 is within this range, it specifically deals with court jurisdiction and trial procedures, not directly with agency rulemaking or enforcement that the regulations would typically cover. Therefore, the relationship is related because both pertain to the same general legislative scheme, but neither is directly mandated nor explicitly authorized.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1268 directly addresses proceedings and subpoenas related to the enforcement of the chapter, it doesn’t specify any particular regulations to be created. The statute concerns litigation procedure rather than regulatory subject matter, making it a general delegation of authority to implement the overall goals of the chapter.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1268 grants authority related to enforcement and investigations under the chapter. The cited regulation, 16 CFR Part 1011, concerns notice of agency activities, which can reasonably be viewed as authorized for the effective enforcement of the underlying statute, though not explicitly mandated by the language of 1268 itself.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1268
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute doesn’t specifically delegate authority to create rules about agency meetings. Rather, it generally authorizes the agency to enforce the law and prevent violations. Rulemaking on meetings policy falls under the broad umbrella of ensuring the agency operates effectively and transparently in its enforcement duties, and is, therefore, a general authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1268 outlines procedures for enforcement and legal proceedings related to the chapter it belongs to (dealing with hazardous substances). While it doesn’t directly mandate the specific meetings policy outlined in 16 CFR Part 1012, the statute authorizes the agency (CPSC) to enforce the law and restrain violations, which could reasonably include regulations governing agency interactions with external parties, to maintain transparency and fairness. The statute provides the basis for the agency to take actions and create regulations to prevent violations and ensure consistent enforcement.

Regulation: 21 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1266
Agency: Food and Drug Administration
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute outlines a specific requirement: to provide notice and an opportunity to be heard before a criminal proceeding is initiated. While it uses terms like “appropriate notice,” the statute clearly directs the agency (Commission) to take specific action related to offering individuals an opportunity to be heard. The regulation builds on this defined and specific task/gap created by the statute.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (15 U.S.C. § 1266) directly mandates that the Commission provide notice and an opportunity to be heard before reporting a violation for criminal proceedings. 21 CFR Part 1230 is a regulation under the Federal Caustic Poison Act (15 U.S.C. 1261-1276), which includes 15 U.S.C. § 1266. The regulation provides administrative procedures which elaborate on how that opportunity is provided.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1011
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1267 focuses primarily on judicial action (injunctions and criminal contempt proceedings), the fact that the statute empowers the agency (via court proceedings) to restrain violations implies that the agency should have some regulatory role in defining what constitutes a violation and providing notice about its activities. 16 CFR Part 1011 provides the notice requirements for agency activities under various Acts. Specifically, the statute gives a power to seek injunctions, which implies a specific regulatory task involving, “appropriate,” “reasonable,” or “necessary” rulemaking on activities that violate the chapter, even if the statute itself does not explicitly say what regulatory task or gap exists.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the United States district courts and the United States courts of the territories to restrain violations of the chapter, subject to certain provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It does not mandate any specific regulation, but authorizes the court action under the chapter, giving the agency (now the CPSC) the authority to bring cases and request court orders. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1011, provides the notice requirements for agency activities, and lists 15 U.S.C. 1261-74 as authority, which includes 15 U.S.C. 1267. The statute authorizes but does not mandate regulations regarding notice of meetings.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides a broad grant of authority to enforce the chapter through injunctions. While it specifies the forum (district courts) and outlines criminal contempt trial procedures, it does not directly instruct the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on specific regulatory tasks regarding meetings or any other specific area. The CPSC is broadly given the authority to restrain violations of the chapter as a whole, and it is authorized by Pub. L. 86-613 to then make more specific regulation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1267 grants jurisdiction to U.S. District Courts to restrain violations of the chapter and outlines trial procedures for criminal contempt. While this section itself doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations, 16 CFR Part 1012 is promulgated under the authority of Pub. L. 86-613, which encompasses 15 U.S.C. 1261-74. This means the regulation is authorized by the statute, but not specifically mandated by the presented section.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1016
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 15 U.S.C. § 1267 itself doesn’t delegate rulemaking authority to the agency (it gives the courts jurisdiction), the regulation cites 15 U.S.C. 1261-74 in its authority section. This broader range of statutes, when viewed holistically, provides the agency (CPSC) with general authority to implement the chapter relating to hazardous substances. Therefore, the statute this regulation is related to provides general authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute 15 U.S.C. § 1267 provides the United States district courts jurisdiction to restrain violations of the chapter of which it is a part. It doesn’t directly mandate regulations, but it authorizes action based on violations, which could be related to the enforcement of regulations promulgated under the chapter it references, and the statute can be used to enforce regulations the CPSC creates.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1031
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1267
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 34
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants the courts the authority to restrain violations, and the CPSC the authority to set standards. The delegation to CPSC concerning how it participates in voluntary standards activity is not a specific regulatory task outlined in 15 U.S.C 1267. The authority is derived from the broader powers to regulate hazardous substances.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

15 U.S.C. § 1267 grants jurisdiction to U.S. District Courts to restrain violations of the chapter. 16 CFR Part 1031 pertains to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) participation in voluntary standards activities. The statute it authorizes (15 U.S.C. 1261-1276) creates standards that the CPSC can create regulations to work with. While the statute itself does not directly mandate the specific regulations in 16 CFR Part 1031, the statute authorizes action by the agency to create standards.

Regulation: 16 CFR Part 1012
Authorizing Statute: 15 U.S. Code § 1266
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute instructs the Commission to provide notice and an opportunity to be heard, it lacks specifics regarding the process. The statute uses the open-ended term “appropriate notice and an opportunity to present his views”. The Commission, therefore, needs to develop procedures for fulfilling this obligation, making it a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 15 U.S.C. § 1266, concerns providing notice and an opportunity to present views before reporting a violation for criminal proceedings. The regulation, 16 CFR Part 1012, covers meetings policy, including notice and recordkeeping. While §1266 doesn’t explicitly mandate how the Commission provides notice and opportunity to present views, Part 1012 seems to be the Commission’s policy response, fitting the “authorized but not mandated” classification. The statute gives power to the agency and how it handles the process is up to the agency’s own discretion.
