What is the level of acceptance of the contributions made by civil society when regulatory bodies are formulating and modifying rules? What is the relationship between the agencies’ treatment of public hearings and the effectiveness of social participation in these hearings? To achieve this goal, we studied public hearings held in 2014 in five regulatory agencies: ANAC, ANEEL, ANP, ANTT and ANATEL. We verified the acceptance of these contributions and how the agencies’ managers conducted their own public hearings. The results of this research show the existence of a relationship between the effectiveness of social participation and the way the processes are handled by regulatory agencies. We did explanatory research in order to analyze the legislation and theoretical content about social participation in the public administration and the social participation tool called public hearing. We have addressed social participation as the interaction between state and society in the context of institutional structures. We hope this research will provide a theoretical contribution demonstrating how important the effectiveness of social participation is in the public hearings of the federal regulatory agencies in Brazil, seeking thereby to reaffirm and enhance the democratic values inherent in social participation. / O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi verificar a efetividade da participação social nas audiências públicas realizadas nas Agências Reguladoras Federais no Brasil. Qual é o nível de aceitação das contribuições apresentadas pela sociedade para elaboração ou modificação das normas editadas pelos órgãos reguladores? Qual a relação entre o tratamento dado pelas agências às suas audiências públicas e a efetividade da participação social alcançada nestes certames?

Some regulatory agencies activities are analysed, highlighting the issues concerning independence and control of these organs. We focus on some international bodies guidelines regarding regulation via regulatory agencies, as well as some national bodies studies on the subject. In addition, the relevant legislation and the debates elaborated by the academia are demonstrated. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate public hearings empirically in the regulatory decision-making process of two federal regulatory agencies - the National Water Agency (ANA) and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). It seeks to identify (i) Who are the participants in the public hearings held by the agencies; (Ii) At what point in the regulatory decision-making process are the mechanisms for public deliberation inserted, and (iii) what is the justification for it - Who, When and Why? The results of the empirical analysis collected call attention to the necessary care to be employed in the practice of public hearings. It is evident that the malfunctioning of these instruments may affect the fulfilment of the purpose for which they were instituted. It is reiterated that the way in which social participation is practiced through public hearings in regulatory agencies is decisive for considerations about the legitimacy of regulatory decision making in these bodies. / O presente estudo pretende avaliar o funcionamento de mecanismos de participação popular em algumas instituições brasileiras responsáveis pela regulação de determinados setores econômicos no país. As atividades regulatórias de algumas agências reguladoras federais são avaliadas, evidenciando-se a temática relativa à tensão existente entre independência e controle destes órgãos. Destacam-se orientações de órgãos internacionais defensores da difusão da regulação através do modelo de agências reguladoras, bem como inclui-se estudos de alguns órgãos nacionais sobre a temática. Adicionalmente, demonstram-se a legislação pertinente e os debates elaborados pela literatura especializada. Especificamente, o estudo objetiva avaliar empiricamente as audiências públicas no processo decisório regulatório de duas agências reguladoras federais ‒ a Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) e a Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL). Busca-se identificar (i) Quem são os participantes das audiências públicas realizadas pelas agências; (ii) Em que momento no processo decisório regulatório os mecanismos de deliberação pública são inseridos e, (iii) Qual a justificativa para tanto ‒ Quem, Quando e Por quê? Os resultados da análise empírica empregada chamam a atenção para o cuidado necessário a ser empregado na prática das audiências públicas. Isso porque evidencia-se que o mau funcionamento desses instrumentos pode afetar o cumprimento da finalidade para a qual foram instituídos. Reitera-se que a forma pela qual a participação social é praticada via audiências públicas nas agências reguladoras é determinante para considerações sobre a legitimidade da tomada de decisão regulatória nestes órgãos.
