The central idea of this working paper is, in U.S., the volume of federal regulations exceedes some 165,000 pages. 

It has become very important to organize a reliable practice of review  to judge how well or poorly existing regulations actually work.

Il would facilitate to revise regulations accordingly.

Yet despite decades of executive orders aimed at improving retrospective analysis and review, agencies consistently fail to produce useful measures of regulations’ performance.

This is why regulatory rules and systems are so confused.
