specified by the Administrator, a report to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs that includes--
            (1) an assessment, including the underlying analysis, of 
        benefits anticipated from the significant regulatory action, 
        such as--
                    (A) the promotion of the efficient functioning of

        benefits assessed under paragraph (1);
            (3) an assessment, including the underlying analysis, of 
        costs anticipated from the regulatory action, such as--
                    (A) the direct cost both to the Federal Government 
                in administering the significant regulatory action and 
                to businesses, consumers, and others (including State, 
                local, and tribal officials) in complying with the 
                regulation; and
                    (B) any adverse effects on the efficient 
                functioning of the economy, private markets (including 
                productivity, employment, and competitiveness), health, 
                safety, the natural environment, job creation, the 
                prices of consumer goods, and energy costs;
            (4) to the extent feasible, a quantification of the costs 
        assessed under paragraph (3); and

        costs and benefits of potentially effective and reasonably 
        feasible alternatives to the planned significant regulatory 
        action, identified by the agency or the public (including 
        improving the current regulation and reasonably viable 
        nonregulatory actions), and an explanation why the planned 
        regulatory action is preferable to the identified potential 
        alternatives.
