Analyzing Regulatory Burden: Policies and Analyses Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act and Retrospective Reviews Could Be Improved, Statement of Michael Clements, Director, Financial Markets and Community Investment, Testimony Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives
"Federal financial regulators must comply with various rulemaking and review requirements, including those in RFA (Regulatory Flexibility Act) and EGRPRA (Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act). These statutes require analyses relating to regulatory burden, small entities, or both. RFA requires analyses of a rule's impact on small entities and alternatives that may minimize any significant economic impact. It also requires agencies to review rules (within 10 years) to determine if the rules should be amended or rescinded. EGRPRA directs specified regulators to review regulations at least every 10 years and identify areas that are outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome on insured depository institutions."

Telecommunications: FCC Should Evaluate the Efficiency and Effectiveness of the Lifeline Program, Statement of Michael Clements, Acting Director Physical Infrastructure Issues, Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet, Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, U.S. Senate
From the Document: "Through the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Lifeline program, companies provide discounts to eligible low-income households for telephone service. Lifeline supports these companies through the Universal Service Fund (USF); in 2014, Lifeline's disbursements totaled approximately $1.7 billion. Companies generally pass their USF contribution obligation on to their customers, typically in the form of a line item on their telephone bills. In 2012, FCC adopted reforms to improve the program's internal controls and to explore adding broadband through a pilot program. This testimony summarizes the findings from GAO's [Government Accountability Office] March 2015 report (GAO-15-335) and provides information on (1) the status of Lifeline reform efforts, (2) the extent to which FCC has evaluated the effectiveness of the program, and (3) how FCC plans to evaluate the broadband pilot program. GAO reviewed FCC orders and other relevant documentation; analyzed 2008-2012 Census Bureau data; and interviewed FCC officials, officials at four pilot projects selected based on features such as technology, and officials from 12 Lifeline providers and four states selected based on factors such as disbursements and participation. In its March 2015 report, GAO recommended that FCC conduct a program evaluation to determine the extent to which the Lifeline program is efficiently and effectively reaching its performance goals. FCC agreed that it should evaluate the extent to which the program is efficiently and effectively reaching its performance goals and said that it will address GAO's recommendation."
