The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that agencies publish semiannual regulatory flexibility agendas in the Federal Register identifying those rules that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Agencies meet that requirement by including the information in their submissions for the Unified Agenda. Beginning with the fall 2007 edition of the Unified Agenda, the Agenda published in the Federal Register has been limited, in general, to agency regulatory flexibility agendas and The Regulatory Plan.
RISC’s compilation and publication of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions and the Regulatory Plan. These documents provide information on regulatory and deregulatory actions under development throughout the Federal government.
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is a semiannual compilation of information about regulations under development by federal agencies, published in the spring and fall. Executive Order (EO) 12866 "Regulatory Planning and Review" and Office of Management and Budget memoranda implementing Section 4 of that Order establish minimum standards for agencies' agendas, including specific types of information for each entry.
In addition, the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish semiannual "regulatory flexibility agendas" describing regulatory actions they are developing that will have significant effects on small businesses and other small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). The Unified Agenda helps agencies fulfill all of these requirements. All federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of this publication. The fall editions of the Unified Agenda include the agency regulatory plans required by EO 12866, which identify regulatory priorities and provide additional detail about the most important significant regulatory actions that agencies expect to take in the coming year
The Regulatory Plan is published as part of the fall edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The Plan identifies regulatory priorities and contains information about the most important significant regulatory actions that agencies expect to take in the coming year.
