Personally, I think the new "rule clarifications" are not that, but in fact new laws and amendments to laws, which, when taken to a court of law, will be thrown out because these new laws were not passed by the house, the senate, and signed by POTUS. While they can calify rules with these adminstrative orders, they cannot create new offences where none previously existed, nor can they create retroactive paperwork requirements for individuals and companies that were previously exempt.
A few will get nailed, but like Acacia, someone will take them to court and things will settle back down.
1 more reason for Americans to vote Bush and his bullies out of office.

I have nothing to gain from posting about 2257, I just was wondering how the community felt about this.
Bottom line is: The reg will go into effect on 8/24. Then we have 30 days to comply, so that's 9/24. If on 11/3 Bush loses the election and becomes a lame duck -- Asshat will probably take a few parting shots at the industry before he goes back to losing elections to dead men. Then, maybe, the country will return to some sanity.
Vote Kerry.
