Book excerpt: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) of 1980 (5 U.S.C.??601-612) requires federal agencies to assess the impact of their forthcoming regulations on "small entities" (i.e., small businesses, small governments, and small not-for-profit organizations). For example, the act requires the analysis to describe why a regulatory action is being considered; the small entities to which the rule will apply and, where feasible, an estimate of their number; the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other compliance requirements of the rule; and any significant alternatives to the rule that would accomplish the statutory objectives while minimizing the impact on small entities. This analysis is not required, however, if the head of the agency certifies that the rule will not have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities." The RFA does not define "significant economic impact" or "substantial number of small entities," thereby giving federal agencies substantial discretion regarding when the act's requirements are triggered. Other requirements in the RFA and elsewhere (e.g., that agencies reexamine their existing rules, develop compliance guides, and convene advocacy review panels) also depend on the whether the agencies determine that their rules have a "significant" impact on a "substantial" number of small entities. GAO has examined the implementation of the RFA many times during the past 20 years, and has consistently concluded that the lack of clear definitions for key terms like "significant economic impact" and "substantial number of small entities" have hindered the act's effectiveness. Therefore, GAO has repeatedly recommended that Congress define those terms, or give the Small Business Administration or some other federal agency the authority and responsibility to do so. H.R. 4458, the "Small Business Regulatory Improvement Act," was introduced on December 12, 2007, and was reported by the House Committee on Small Business the next day. Among other things, H.R. 4458 would define "economic impact" as including indirect effects that are "reasonably foreseeable," and would clarify that agencies' reviews of existing rules should not be limited to rules for which a regulatory flexibility analysis had been conducted. The bill would also require agencies to develop a plan for the review of all existing rules within 10 years, require more details in agencies' analyses and notifications, and require annual reports to Congress on certain agency "determinations" as part of their reviews. Although some of these provisions address long-standing issues, some provisions seem unclear and some may add time and costs to the rulemaking process. Most notably, though, H.R. 4458 does not address GAO's long-standing concerns about the lack of clear definitions for key terms in the RFA. This report will be updated if H.R. 4458 is acted upon, or if other relevant actions occur.

Book excerpt: As part of a broader regulatory reform agenda, some interest groups have suggested that Congress require agencies to reexamine their existing regulations to determine whether they are still needed or can be made less burdensome. One model that has been suggested for such regulatory "lookbacks" is an expansion of a requirement in Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) of 1980. That provision requires each agency to develop a plan for the review of its existing rules that have or will have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities." Agencies are required to review any new rules within 10 years of their publication as a final rule, and to provide an annual Federal Register notice of rules they have designated for review within the next 12 months. The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is intended to be a compendium of agency rulemaking actions within the next 12 months. Therefore, the number of Section 610 notices in the Unified Agenda should provide some indication of the extent to which agencies are conducting the required "lookbacks" under the RFA. Although this statutory "lookback" requirement has been in place since 1981, it difficult to determine with any degree of certainty whether agencies are consistently implementing it. However, it appears that agencies are carrying out relatively few Section 610 reviews. Several agencies have consistently indicated that they plan to issue dozens of rules each year with a significant impact on small entities, but have published few if any notices of Section 610 reviews in the Unified Agenda. The RFA gives agencies a significant amount of discretion to decide which rules are covered by the review requirement. There also appears to be substantial confusion or disagreement among the agencies regarding what Section 610 requires, thereby limiting its effectiveness. For example, some agencies said the statutes underlying their rules had a significant impact on small entities, not the rules themselves, so they did not have to review them under Section 610. The poor implementation history of Section 610 of the RFA offers a number of valuable lessons for current advocates of even broader "lookback" reviews. For any such process to work, Congress faces the challenge of clearly specifying what rules should be reviewed and how the reviews should be conducted. Also, some means of tracking the reviews, congressional or executive branch oversight, and a meaningful enforcement mechanism appear important to improving the implementation of the lookback requirement. Otherwise, agencies are unlikely to conduct many more reviews than have occurred pursuant to Section 610. Legislation has been introduced in the 109th Congress (H.R. 682) that addresses some of the issues regarding the implementation of the RFA and Section 610 reviews. This report will be updated when additional information about Section 610 or broader lookback reviews become available.
