March 11, 1997Review Process Strawman



### DOE has developed a strawman methodology for future manufacturer impact analyses. The methodology adds implementation procedures to the Process Rule The methodology will have flexibility built-in so that it can be adapted to specific rulemakings The methodology will be further developed with stakeholders' input At the conclusion of this workshop, stakeholders will be invited to participate in a work group tasked with the future development of models or methods Review Process Strawman
