Summary
As discussed in Chapter 2, federal law and policy direct U.S. federal agencies to use, when practical, technical standards developed by private standards development organizations (SDOs) instead of government-created standards. To comply with this directive, agencies often utilize a regulatory drafting technique known as “incorporation by reference” (sometimes abbreviated as “IBR”). Through this practice, an agency may integrate into regulations materials that have been published elsewhere simply by referring to the extrinsic materials in the text of its regulations.
