Abstract: In the Asbestos Ban of 1989, there are two main decisions: (1) EPA decision whether to ban a product (this can be referred to as the standard-setting), and (2) its decision when to ban the product (this can be referred to as the priority-setting). Accordingly, given the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) mandate to consider participation by external parties seriously, external parties could affect the priority-setting process as well as the standard-setting process in important and predictable ways. Using probit and ordered probit models, this study will infer the role of the active involvement of special interest groups in the form of written comments when making these two regulatory decisions
