Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtable Follow Up
As a result of President Trump’s Executive Orders, 13771 and 13777, Advocacy has begun an effort to hear, firsthand, from small businesses across the country about specific federal regulatory burdens facing their businesses. Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), agencies are required to consider the impact of their regulations on small entities when promulgating federal regulations. Advocacy believes that the RFA and consideration of small business economic impacts is a good place to start when an agency is selecting rules that are being reviewed for reform or elimination.
In December 2018, Advocacy published a report on the roundtable effort from June 2017 to September 2018. The report outlines the initiative, top small business regulatory issues, and progress that has been made so far.
These are the letters that Advocacy disseminated to federal agencies as a follow up to the feedback received from online comment letters and Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables:
