Agencies should develop mechanisms to deal with interagency disputes in cases in which regulatory jurisdiction overlaps. Agencies should inform small businesses they have the right to comment on enforcement actions to the Regulatory Fairness Program at the time enforcement action begins. Agencies should include an executive summary on all policy notices sent to small businesses disclosing the purpose of the policy, the industries and businesses to which it applies and whether the policies are mandatory or discretionary. The Fairness Boards praised the 1995 White House Conference on Small Business for the progress that has been made in creating a more small business friendly regulatory environment. The form can be used to comment on a federal agency compliance or enforcement action.
Forms also are available from many small business trade associations.
