Life & Work
Federal employees at rulemaking agencies would face significant new workload requirements. Every proposed rule would need a detailed household cost impact analysis, and agencies would need to respond to public comments on that analysis and prepare a final version. This adds a substantial new layer of work to an already complex rulemaking process, particularly at agencies like the EPA, FDA, and OSHA.
“prepare an initial household cost impact analysis for such rule that contains-- ``(A) a statement about whether a proposed rule would substantially increase household costs; ``(B) a description of how such increase would affect a household based on the income level of such household”
