Agenda:

 
9:30 am  Opening Remarks
9:45 am  Panel 1: Evaluating Executive Order 13609 and Its Origins
  In 2012, President Obama issued Executive Order 13609, directing executive branch agencies to consider the potential for international regulatory cooperation when engaged in policymaking. This panel will evaluate how the E.O. came to exist, what efforts towards international regulatory cooperation were like before it was promulgated, and inquire into how agencies received it after promulgation.
11:00 am Break
11:15 am Panel 2: Global Perspectives on Regulatory Cooperation
  Executive Order 13609 was issued in the United States at a time when the international community was increasingly engaged in cross-border cooperative efforts, as evidenced by the growth in regulatory exchange among international organizations. This panel will focus on those organizations’ undertakings to complement and amplify national programs, and will evaluate how those undertakings have evolved in the last decade, as well as where work remains.
12:30 pm Lunch (provided for in-person attendees)
1:30 pm Panel 3: Best Practices and Future Outlook for International Regulatory Cooperation
  What has Executive Order 13609 helped accomplish to date? How can agency practices be improved upon to better realize the E.O.'s objectives? This panel will take stock of how E.O. 13609 is currently being implemented in the United States and where there is space for more effective implementation. It will consider best practices for individual agencies and across the federal government.
2:45 pm Closing Remarks
  Panelist information coming soon.
