Individualized regulation exists when officials must apply rules case by case

Evidence

A regulatory arrangement is individualized, in the sense here used,.if the regular operation of its rimary provisions requires an official application in each case.’ In the administration of governmental exactions, this kind of individualized application is needed because of the intrinsic nature of the performance called for by the arrangement - namely, the payment of money or rendering of a service to the government. But in most other instances, as in the case of the medical license, resort to individualized regulation is prompted by the desire to achieve a more effective control than is possible with a self-applying arrangement. — Henry M. Hart, Jr. and Albert M. Sacks, The Legal Process, 743
