Called "the best measure of the overall regulatory burden" by the Wall Street Journal, Ten Thousand Commandments is dedicated to informing citizens about the hidden tax of government regulation of the economy. Since 1993.

Federal Regulation - The Updates

Keep an eye on this page for updates and streamlining; current year represents the running tally.

Note: Cross-reference "Significant" in the below with the corresponding "economically significant" numbers in the Ten Thousand Commandments report, which are derived from the twice-annual Unified Agenda. The Federal Register database uses the broader EO 12866 definition of what counts as a "significant" rule. Comparatively, what's presented in Ten Thousand Commandments is the lower figure for "economically significant" rules. The 10KC report will continue reflecting the lower number of more technically defined "economically significant" ($100 million) as opposed to broader "significant" rules, seen here. Knowing the accurate count for both is important.

10,000 Commandments In the News, On the Hill

A full-length Washington Post story credited CEI and Ten Thousand Commandments with “Trying to Establish a Bottom Line for Regulations.”
Another Post story got to the heart of the matter: “A Think-Tank Tenet: Thou Shalt Hold Congress Accountable.”

Numerous editorials fully or prominently featuring Ten Thousand Commandments have appeared every year, from USA Today to Investor’s Business Daily (“Clyde Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute concludes regulatory costs are out of control. He’s right.”) [The Regulatory Hydra]; from the Detroit News to the Korea Herald.

On the Hill: Both the House and Senate in the 112th and earlier congresses circulated Dear Colleague letters regarding Ten Thousand Commandments and regulatory reform.
