On Wednesday, June 27, 2012, at 1:00 p.m. the Committee on Small Business conducted a hearing titled Regulatory Flexibility Act Compliance: Is EPA Failing Small Businesses? The hearing began at 1:00 P.M. on June 27, 2012, in Room 2360 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The hearing examined whether the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is complying with the Regulatory Flexibility (RFA). The RFA requires federal agencies to assess the economic impact of their regulations on small businesses, small non-profits, and small governmental jurisdictions and if the impact is significant, consider alternatives that are less burdensome. The Committee focused on specific RFA compliance issues in the context of several EPA regulations.
