Regulatory Impact Analysis examines the potential costs, benefits, and impacts of an environmental regulation on the regulated community. A typical RIA takes a number of factors into consideration, including the financial and environmental benefits of a regulation, the cost to industry, the cost to the government, the regulation's effect on innovative commercial and scientific activity, the international ramifications of the regulation, and its effect on small businesses.
