New Wine in New Bottles: The Case of the Consumer Product Safety Commission
研究新设监管机构因缺乏成熟标准操作程序而难以有效执行政策，以1970年代美国消费品安全委员会为例。
A new agency receives guidelines from the legislature through its enabling statute, yet it still has to interpret that authorization and develop the internal processes to implement that interpretation. This is not an easy task, especially for a new bureau with no past experiences to guide its decisions. The bureau has to define goals and set priorities, determine what information it needs, and devise standard operating procedures. By considering the experiences of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the 1970s, this article argues that new agencies will tend to have a difficult time implementing their programs because they lack the sophisticated standard operating procedures necessary for effective bureaucratic decision making.1
