Congress passes laws.
Departments form regulations in order to implement the laws passed by Congress.
If Congress objects to how the regulations are written; they have two choices:
A> Talk to the boss of the departments and ask for changes. (Call the Prez as the Departments work for him)
B> Amend the law to make it more clear what Congress wants so the various Departments don't have to try and figure out, in specifics, what the law means.
Regulations that affect the general population usually, but aren't universally required to, have public comment periods where objections and interpretations are requested. That is one reason it takes so long to change regulations implementing laws. Yep, the people running the departments often have their own agenda in how they word and interpret regulations.
If you need to object to regulations; it may be time to, as Warren Zevon put it, "Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money". You can always request a R.O.D. from any department but you may have to force them to act in a timely manner. (Record of Decision - once it is on paper; you can fight it on several grounds and in the courts... see the part of the 1st amendment canonizing the right to petition for redress of grievances. )
