Bagge, C E

The author examines the interaction between Congress, the regulatory agencies, and the courts in four areas crucial to the coal industry: federal coal leasing, clean air, surface mining, and transportation. These areas illustrate the kinds of problems that arise within the institutional framework which serve as a catalyst to transform policy goals into responsible regulation. Only by consistent and close attention to what is taking place at every step of the legislative, regulatory, and judicial processes can we assure sound objectives will be met. The coal industry has learned that this is often a time-consuming and expensive process. 22 references.
