    GAO report titled "Regulatory Programs: Balancing Federal and State Responsibility for Standard Setting and Implementation" (GAO-02-495), March 20, 2002. Based on the study of federal/state programs, this report examines 5 approaches to regulation or standard-setting that have the potential for achieving national coverage but differ in the responsibilities assigned to the federal government and the states. It examines the advantages and limitations of each approach and presents guiding questions in a flowchart format to use in selecting a standard-setting mechanism and implementation plan appropriate to a given national regulatory objective.
