That's the interesting part of this story; Congress didn't think this requirement existed, neither did the lobbyists. But the language that congress adopted (with the consultation of this lobbying group) made the agencies _think_ it was what congress wanted. So the agency was left holding the bag for something no one actually wanted in the first place. Like a big game of telephone. I agree with your broader point however. Congress needs to do a better job of owning outcomes.
