Advocacy Involvement Helps Relieve Small Business of Regulatory Burdens
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) is Advocacy’s most effective tool for bringing small business concerns into the federal rulemaking process. The Report on the Regulatory Flexibility Act, FY 2016 analyzes how well federal agencies complied with this law last year. The report also shows how Advocacy’s intervention on behalf of small business saved them almost $1.4 billion in regulatory costs.
