Abstract

In an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), EPA will solicit comments and recommendations on how it can make regulatory cost considerations more consistent, reliable, and transparent. The ANPRM is expected to illustrate how EPA considered costs in recent rulemakings and pose questions to help identify opportunities for improvement. Based on the comments received and further considerations, EPA may move to develop implementing regulations through the notice-and-comment rulemaking process (NPRM/FRN).
