Jim Tozzi (born 1938) is a former regulatory official of the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB).〔http://thecre.com/ombpapers/OMB_Officials.htm 〕 He currently is the head of the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, an industry-supported organization that describes itself as a "regulatory watchdog."〔http://www.thecre.com/pdf/20021111_fedtimes-tozzi.pdf〕 Jim Tozzi got his Ph.D. in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Florida. After some time playing jazz as a self-described “bottom-tier” musician in New Orleans, Tozzi began working in Washington in 1964 at the Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary of the Army, where he worked on budget and strategic response issues. Tozzi served as an officer in the US Army Corps of Engineers. ==Work at OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA)== Tozzi was instrumental in the passage of the Paperwork Reduction Act and the establishment of the OMB Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in 1980. Under his directorship, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs was the gatekeeper for virtually all proposed regulations dealing with public health and safety.〔http://www.thecre.com/pdf/20110922_TheQuietShiftofPower.pdf〕〔http://www.thecre.com/pdf/20110922_JT-WashPost%201981.pdf〕 It quickly became known among watchdog groups as a bureaucratic “black hole” where proposed regulations disappeared. Tozzi was the Deputy Administrator of OMB in charge of the OIRA (and therefore of the regulatory agencies) when he left the organization in 1983 at age 45.〔http://www.thecre.com/pdf/20110922_20060612_ELI_EnvironmentalForum.pdf〕〔http://thecre.com/pdf/20_Years_War.pdf 〕 He had also been the head of the Federal Ad Hoc Group on Toxic Torts. Between 1983 and 1986 he was employed as a 'consultant economist' by Beveridge & Diamond, the law firm of William Ruckelshaus, ex-administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and now contracted to the chemical industry. The firm's key lobbyist was J Marshall Coleman (ex State Attorney General) who was counsel to Dow Chemical and working in close relationship with the Chemical Manufacturing Association's American Industrial Health Council (AIHC), along with Edison Electric Institute, and the Society of the Plastic Industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Tozzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
