1. Agencies have a great deal of discretion over whether to regulate and over the
choice of targets for enforcement action. Ambiguous statutory standards that provide an agency with discretion for when to act and against whom to enforce the action can narrow the discretion.
2. The Freedom of Information Act grants the public a right of access to most agency records.
3. This act requires that agencies obtain the approval of the office of Management and Budget before they may initiate new requirements that parties provide information to the agency.
4. The clarity requirement holds that agencies may act in some circumstances only under relatively clear rules. It may violate __________ for an agency to impose punitive measures when the rules under which the agency is acting are not clear.
5. The main APA policymaking tools are rulemaking and _____________.
6. Unless a particular statute specifies a different standard, the arbitrary, capricious standard of

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Department of Housing and Urban Development Preliminary Regulatory Reform Plan
1. Preliminary Plan, May 16, 2011
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Plan for Retrospective Review of
Regulatory Actions under E.O. 13563
I. INTRODUCTION
HUD plays a significant role in the lives of families and in communities throughout
America. HUD’s mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality
affordable homes for all. Consistent with that mission, HUD has statutory responsibility for a
wide variety of regulations. HUD’s regulatory programs and initiatives help create suitable
living environments, and help to ensure that all citizens have access to decent, safe, and sanitary
housing. HUD’s regulations also assist in the enforcement of the nation’s fair housing laws.
HUD regulations also govern the provision of housing and other essential support to a wide
range of individuals and families with special needs, including homeless individuals, the elderly,
and persons with disabilities.
On January 18, 2011, President Obama issued Executive Order 13563, “Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review.”1 The Executive Order requires federal agencies to seek
more affordable, less intrusive ways to achieve policy goals and give careful consideration to the
benefits and costs of those regulations. Agencies are directed to tailor their regulations to impose
the minimal amount of burden on society to obtain regulatory objectives. The Executive Order
also emphasizes the importance of meaningful public participation in the rulemaking process,
and encourages agencies to increase their use of online technologies to simplify and facilitate
participation for all stakeholders. Executive Order 13563 also requires agencies to coordinate,
simplify, and harmonize regulations to reduce costs and promote certainty for businesses and the
public.
The Executive Order recognizes that these principles should not only guide the federal
government’s approach to new regulations, but to existing ones as well. To that end, agencies
are required to review existing significant regulations to determine if they are outmoded,
ineffective, insufficient or excessively burdensome. Executive Order 13563 also requires that
each agency develop and submit to the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs a preliminary plan for periodically reviewing existing
significant regulations so as to make the agency’s regulatory program more effective or less
burdensome in achieving regulatory objectives.
1
The Executive Order was subsequently published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2011, at 76 FR 3821.
2. 2
On March 2, 2011, at 76 FR 11395, HUD published a notice in the Federal Register
inviting public comments, through May 2, 2011, to assist in the development of the plan required
by the Executive Order and in identifying specific current regulations that should be the subject
of HUD review. HUD received comments from 42 commenters, including nonprofit advocacy
groups, private industry groups, housing authorities, and private individuals, amounting to more
than 300specific suggestions. This plan follows publication of HUD’s March 2, 2011, notice and
takes into consideration the public comments received on the notice. Most of the comments
were in regards to specific program regulations; however, HUD also received several comments
on the retrospective review process itself. The appendix to this plan identifies the initial set of
HUD regulatory actions being taken in response to Executive Order 13563 and the concerns
raised by the commenters. HUD’s review of the comments received in response to the March 2,
2011, notice is ongoing and the list of rules will be expanded based on that ongoing assessment.
HUD notes that many of the public comments requested changes that would require statutory
amendments and, therefore, at this time HUD is unable to accommodate the suggested changes.
Many of the comments also recommended changes to HUD’s processes, as opposed to program
requirements. HUD appreciates these comments and will continue to streamline these processes
as is its updates to its technological systems come on line .
II. PLAN FOR RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF HUD REGULATORY ACTIONS
In accordance with Executive Order 13563, this document sets forth HUD’s plan for the
periodic review of its existing regulations to determine whether any of these regulations should
be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed. As appropriate for a “look back” at existing
regulatory actions, HUD will review regulations that have been in effect for a sufficient amount
of time to warrant a fair evaluation, rather than revisiting recently issued rules. HUD’s
retrospective reviews will complement its ongoing efforts to improve the effectiveness of its
regulations. HUD will continue to amend its regulations as needed to reflect policy
determinations or better adapt to changing market conditions.
A. HUD General Policy on Retrospective Regulatory Review
In accordance with the procedures established by this plan, HUD will undertake periodic
review of its regulations. The purpose of this review is to assess whether HUD’s regulations
remain current, necessary, are appropriately tailored to the subject matter of the regulation, and
achieve regulatory objectives without imposing unwarranted costs and burdens. HUD is
committed to maintaining a culture of retrospective review. Where appropriate and consistent
with applicable law, HUD will incorporate experimental designs in reviewing existing and
prospective regulations and solicit the peer review of data underlying new or revised regulatory
policies.
3. 3
B. Role of the Office of General Counsel
The Office of General Counsel, as an independent office from the offices responsible for
implementing regulations and as HUD’s office with responsibility for overseeing the
Department’s compliance with Executive Orders and the legal requirements governing the
federal rulemaking process, will be HUD’s principal point of contact for the retrospective review
of regulatory actions. The Principal Deputy General Counsel is HUD’s Regulatory Policy
Officer under Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” and will oversee the
work of the Office of General Counsel in this regard.
C. Public Input
Public input is a principal component of HUD’s rulemaking process, and will be a
principal component of HUD’s retrospective regulatory review efforts. Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of public participation, and it is HUD’s policy to provide for
meaningful public input in the rulemaking process.2 The knowledge of the effects of regulations
is widely dispersed in society, and members of the public have valuable information and
perspectives on the usefulness and impacts of HUD’s rules.
HUD is taking the following steps to actively solicit the input of stakeholders and
members of the general public in identifying specific current regulations that may be obsolete,
unnecessary, unjustified, excessively burdensome, or counterproductive and, therefore, should be
subject to retrospective review:
1. Regulatory review website and e-mail inbox. HUD will establish a regulatory review
website to solicit input and update the public on HUD’s regulatory review efforts. The website,
which will link to appropriate government-wide websites, will contain a links to this plan, to the
list of candidate rules that HUD intends to review, as well as to other useful sites providing
information on HUD rules and the federal rulemaking process in general. The website will direct
interested members of the public to HUD’ e-mail inbox at RegulatoryReview@hud.gov which
parties may use, on an ongoing basis, to identify regulations that may be in need of review.
HUD’s regulatory review website is found at: [link to be inserted]
2. Solicitation for public input in HUD’s Semiannual Regulatory Agenda. Section 4(b)
of Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” requires each department or
agency to prepare semiannually an agenda of: (1) regulations that the department or agency has
issued or expects to issue, and (2) rules currently in effect that are under departmental or agency
review.3 HUD customarily includes the following solicitation for public comment in the
preamble to its Semiannual Agenda of Regulations:
Since the purpose of publication of the agenda is to encourage more effective
public participation in the regulatory process by providing the public with early

Register on October 4, 1993, at 58 FR 51735.
4. 4
information about the Department’s future regulatory actions, HUD invites all
interested members of the public to comment on the rules listed in the agenda.
3. Solicitation for public input on HUD rules. When appropriate, HUD will add the
following solicitation for comment in the “Findings and Certifications” section of the preamble
to its rules issued for public comment:4
Retrospective Review of Regulatory Actions.
In accordance with Executive Order 13563, “Improving Regulation
and Regulatory Review,” HUD has reviewed the program regulations
in their entirety in the development of this rule to evaluate their
continued effectiveness in addressing circumstances for which the
regulations were promulgated. HUD specifically solicits comments
on whether, in addition to the regulatory changes contained in this
rule, the program regulations should be modified, streamlined,
expanded, or repealed so as to make the HUD’s regulatory program
more effective or less burdensome in achieving regulatory objectives.
Interested readers are referred to [link to be inserted] for additional
information regarding HUD’s implementation of Executive Order
13563.
4. Public meetings. HUD, as appropriate, will convene town hall meetings open to the
general public and meetings with affected stakeholders to solicit public feedback on rules that
may merit retrospective review.
5. HUD Ideas in Action. HUD, as appropriate, will make use of its idea generation tool,
HUD Ideas in Action, to allow public stakeholders to submit ideas on regulations that should be
reexamined. Users can then vote and submit comments on those ideas.
HUD Ideas in Action is designed to:
Engage employees and stakeholders through an open and transparent process to
ensure every employee has a voice in the way the agency and its operations evolve;
Collect constant, fresh input and perspectives on how to improve HUD’s ability to
achieve its mission; and
Disseminate information about new and existing programs, initiatives, and policies.
D. Coordination with Other Forms of Retrospective Analysis and Review
HUD currently undertakes efforts to retrospectively review its regulations and will build
upon those efforts in its implementation of Executive Order 13563.
4
As implied by its name, the “Findings and Certifications” section of the preamble to HUD’s rules provides
statements indicating HUD’s compliance with the authorities governing the rulemaking process, including Executive
Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
National Environmental Policy Act, and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
5. 5
1. Comprehensive review of regulations during development of amendments. It is
HUD’s practice to review regulations in their entirety when developing amendments to specific
sections of those regulations. HUD program staff and legal counsel review the regulations to
determine whether they are outmoded, ineffective, or excessively burdensome, and therefore
should be amended or removed. For purposes of implementing Executive Order 13563, HUD
will expand upon this current practice by, as noted, including language in the preambles to its
rules advising the public that HUD has undertaken a comprehensive review of the relevant
regulations and soliciting public comment as to whether further amendments are merited.
2. Manufactured housing consensus committee. The Manufactured Housing Consensus
Committee (MHCC) is a statutory federal advisory committee charged with providing
recommendations to the Secretary on the revision and interpretation of HUD's manufactured
home construction and safety standards and related procedural and enforcement regulations. The
MHCC was established under section 604(a)(3) of the National Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended.5 The MHCC serves as an ongoing
forum for soliciting stakeholder feedback on HUD’s regulation of the manufactured housing
industry.
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act. Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
requires federal agencies to review regulations that have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities within 10 years of their adoption as final rules.6 As an
agency with a primary mission that revolves around the awarding of grants and other forms of
assistance, HUD does not issue many rules having a significant economic impact on small
entities, as defined by the RFA. However, in conducting the review of a regulation subject to
section 610 of the RFA, HUD will also retrospectively review the rule for purposes of Executive
Order 13563. In addition, HUD conducts an analysis of the impact on small entities for every
rule that the Department publishes. This analysis helps to ensure HUD’s commitment to the
principles of the RFA in every regulatory issuance, even beyond the 10-year review.
E. Prioritization
HUD will consider the following factors, among others, in prioritizing rules for
retrospective review. The following list is not exclusive, but provides examples of the types of
factors that HUD will consider in determining whether a particular regulation merits
retrospective review. HUD will make such determinations on a case-by-cases basis based on the
specific factors for each rule.
1. Identified by the public. HUD will prioritize regulations for review that have been
identified by affected stakeholders.
2. Widely-used regulations. HUD recognizes that the effectiveness of its most widely-
used or relied upon programs often depend upon the effectiveness of the regulations that serve as
the foundation for the program. Not only will the need for revision be more evident for such
5
42 U.S.C. 5403.
6
5 U.S.C. 610.
6. 6
regulations, but any changes to those programs may have the greatest positive impact on HUD’s
mission. Examples of HUD’s widely used program regulations include the Community
Development Block Grants program (24 CFR part 570), the Federal Housing Administration
single family and multifamily mortgage insurance programs (24 CFR parts 202, 203, and 207),
the Public Housing Operating Fund program (24 CFR part 990), the Public Housing Capital
Fund program (24 CFR Part 905), and the Housing Choice Voucher program (24 CFR part 982),
to name a few.
3. Complexity and scope of regulations. HUD will consider the overall number,
complexity, and structure of the regulations for a specific program in determining the frequency
of retrospective review. HUD programs with few or closely linked regulatory requirements may
lend themselves to a periodic comprehensive review of all regulatory requirements. Other
programs, either because of the number of regulations or the far-reaching scope of the
requirements, may be subject to more frequent or ongoing reviews, with each review focused on
a particular component of the regulations. For example, HUD’s public housing programs and
multifamily assisted housing programs both provide rental assistance to lower income
households. However, because of the governmental nature of public housing agencies, the
regulations for the public housing program are more numerous and detailed. HUD may elect to
comprehensively review all of the multifamily assistance program regulations once every few
years, while, in the public housing context, it may be more appropriate for HUD to conduct
ongoing reviews focused on specific regulatory requirements (such as the Public Housing
Agency Plan requirements, the Operating and Capital Funds, and the Public Housing Assessment
System requirements, among others).
4. Need for regulatory waiver. HUD will prioritize review of any regulation which
becomes the subject of frequent requests for waivers by affected stakeholders, and HUD has
determined that good cause exists for the granting of waivers.
F. Analysis of Costs, Benefits, and Reduced Regulatory Burden
Where appropriate, HUD will analyze the costs and benefits (both quantitative and
qualitative) of regulations selected for retrospective review. HUD will also attempt to measure
the reduction in regulatory burden resulting from the modification or repeal of a rule that was
subject to a retrospective review.
III. UPCOMING REGULATORY REVIEW
The Appendix to this Plan identifies the initial list of HUD rules initiated in response to
Executive Order 13563. The Appendix includes rules governing Federal Housing
Administration programs, including Single-Family and Multifamily Mortgage Insurance, Office
of Public and Indian Housing programs, including Public Housing and Section 8, and
Community Planning and Development programs.
