Study on the enforcement of the Administrative Procedire Law and administrative procedure and modern administrative procedure

1997财年，我们的研究主要集中在计划制定程序上，计划制定程序被称为现代行政程序。《环境影响评估法》是在普通国会会议上颁布的。由于这部法律与规划编制程序关系密切，我们分析了这部法律，得出了规划编制程序领域仍有改造任务的结论，因为该法中的“环境”概念仅限于自然环境，这部法律不涉及战略环境评价。我们还研究了建设部河流局局长的通知所设立的大坝工程咨询小组，因为我们认为这是规划编制程序领域的一个有价值的研究课题。我们询问的问题包括咨询小组的审议过程、《内河法》修正案在公民参与中的分支、现有的大坝工程咨询小组、与河流有关的规划制定程序，并进行了比较研究，其中包括对新制定的《规则制定法》的研究。我们将监管谈判与日本的规则制定程序进行了比较。

In 1997th fiscal year, our research focused on plan-making procedure, which is calssified as modern administrative procedure. The Environmental Impact Assessment Law was enacted in the ordinary Diet session. Since this law has close relationship with plan-making procedure, we analyzed this law and reach the conclusion there are still remaking tasks in the field of plan-making procedure, because the concept of "environment" in this law is limited to natural environment and this law dose not deal with strategic environmental assessment.We also studied about advisory panels on dam projects established by a circular of the director of the River Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, because we bilieved this is a valuable subject of research in the field of plan-making procedure.We visited the Watarase Reservoir and interviewed wht officaols there. The questions we asked included the deliberative process of the advisory panel, the ramification of the amendment of the River Law in citizen particcipation, the existing advisory panels on dam projects, plan-making procedures concernig rivers.We also make a comparative research, which includes the study on the newly enacted Negotiated Rulemaking Act. We compared regulatory negotiation with Japanese rulemaking procedures.
