  • Title: Analysis of Proposed and Final Regulations at the Federal Level

    INSTRUCTIONS  BELOW AND ATTACHED
    Examine proposed and final regulations and write a 3-5-page summary/analysis of the 
    regulations. Choose any regulation that interests you at the federal or state level and look at both
    the proposed and final versions of the regulation. Below are instructions on how to find
    regulations at the federal level, which are generally easier to follow. However, you are free to do
    this at the state level if you can obtain the needed information.
    To find the final and proposal regulations, start by going to the federal register website:
    https://www.federalregister.gov/. Then go to search documents (at the top right hand side) and
    enter a search term (e.g., Medicaid, health, tobacco control). That will give you a list of
    documents. You want to look for something interesting with a circled R next to it (which means
    final rule).
    Click on the final rule and then open the PDF version. (You want to quickly scroll
    through the final version to make sure they have a section with responses to comments. You also
    want to look at the summary in the beginning, as well as reference to the proposed rule that
    preceded the final rule which is often found in the Executive Summary section).
    Please include the following information in your regulatory summary:
    Proposed regulations:
    • Legal cite (to the Federal Register or state Register—i.e., date of publication, Register
    number and page number)’
    • The agency that is issuing the proposed regulations;
    • The legal authority for publishing the regulation (i.e., what is the statute that gives the
    agency the authority to issue regulations in this area);
    • A summary of the proposed rule (no more than a paragraph), including a description of
    the problem the rule is meant to address or the goal it intends to accomplish;
    • Process for commenting on the rule (i.e., whether a person can request a public hearing,
    whether a public hearing has been scheduled by the agency, where a person can submit
    public comments, the comment period, etc.).
    Final regulations:
    • When were the final regulations issued (date of publication, register number and page
    number);
    • A short summary of the comments and agencies’ response. (Note: I only want you to
    summarize one or two of the comments/responses. Some of the final regulations in state
    or federal registers can be very long.). I want to be able to determine that you have
    reviewed some part of the final regulations in the register, to see how the comment and
    agency response process works. Look at the final regulations published in the federal
    register, not the Code of Federal Regulations (which is where the final regulations are
    codified. The CFR does not include summaries of comments and agency responses).
    • Your assessment of whether the regulation is an effective way to address the
    problem/accomplish its goal. You may want to consider cost (to the federal/state
    government), impact, equity/justice/fairness, and any practical concerns with
    implementation. You may also want to consider how the rule compares to other policy
    options.

    D-1
    Prior to beginning work on the discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week.
    In your initial post, identify and discuss the three ethical systems highlighted in the text, McDavid et al. (2019), in Chapter 12: deontological ethics, duty ethics, and consequentialism. For your initial posting,

    D-2
    Prior to beginning work on the discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week.
    All evaluations are conducted, and ultimately exist, in a social environment and can be affected by various social, cultural, political, and economic forces. Based on what you have learned through working on your final summative paper, put your selected topic in its appropriate social context.
    Identify and explain the impact of political issues associated with the proposal.
    The discussion should focus both on political factors such as socioeconomics, race, or gender, as well as political nuances that might include issues pertaining to the program being utilized for the proposal.
    Predict how your proposal will yield actionable results to improve your chosen program.
    Identify and discuss the most surprising thing you found in your research that caused you to reevaluate a previously held opinion.

  • “Legal Considerations for Acme Fireworks: Contracts, Liability, and Business Entity Formation” “Researching and Documenting Sources: A Guide to Completing Your Assignment”

    Final Paper
    [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 1 through 7 and 11 through 14 of the textbook.
    For your Final Paper, assume the following scenario: You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, and produces fireworks displays with ground display fireworks and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage 2 years ago and now has 15 employees who you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.
    In your paper, the owner has asked you to do the following:
    Analyze if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
    Explain why.
    Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses.
    Apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
    Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.
    Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law.
    Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
    Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship.
    Recommend a new business entity.
    Provide rationale to support your recommendation.
    For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.
