Special Considerations for Small Businesses and Nonprofits
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 upped the ante for federal agencies by giving small entities--businesses and nonprofits--a right to appeal a final rule under the Regulatory Flexibility Act which requires extensive economic analysis and other considerations to rulemaking. Learn how this law transforms the process for small entity input through the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, small entity representatives to interagency panels for occupational safety and environmental laws, and the final arbiter, Congress.
