Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 2829 2009-2010 Regular Sessions IN SENATE March 4, 2009 ___________ Introduced by Sen. VALESKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Commerce, Economic Devel- opment and Small Business AN ACT to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to detailing the benefits and costs of proposed rules in regulatory impact statements The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The legislature finds that many rules of state agencies 2 have a substantial impact on the lives of the public, and therefore 3 should be adopted through a process which provides for open and reasoned 4 consideration of the potential costs and benefits of regulatory action. 5 To this end, the statutes governing the rulemaking process should be 6 improved to ensure that agency assessments of the costs and the benefits 7 of proposed rules are reasonably accurate and comprehensive. 8 § 2. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 4-a of section 202 of the state 9 administrative procedure act, as added by chapter 335 of the laws of 10 1992, is amended to read as follows: 11 (b) Each agency shall publish and make available to the public an 12 assessment of public comment for a rule revised pursuant to this subdi- 13 vision. Such assessment shall be based upon any written comments submit- 14 ted to the agency and any comments presented at any public hearing held 15 on the proposed rule by the agency. The assessment shall contain: (i) a 16 summary and an analysis of the issues raised and significant alterna- 17 tives suggested by any such comments; (ii) a statement of the reasons 18 why any significant alternatives were not incorporated into the rule; 19 and (iii) a description of any changes made in the rule as a result of 20 such comments. If any comments included estimates of projected costs of 21 the proposed rule to the state, local governments or regulated persons, 22 which differed significantly from those presented by the agency in its 23 regulatory impact statement, regulatory flexibility analysis, or rural EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD05502-01-9S. 2829 2 1 area flexibility analysis, the assessment shall also summarize the agen- 2 cy's assessment of such estimates. Copies of comments which include 3 estimates of projected costs which differ significantly from the agen- 4 cy's estimates shall accompany the assessment of public comment distrib- 5 uted with the rule making notice pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivi- 6 sion six-a of this section. If no comments have been received, the 7 notice of revised rule making shall state that no comments were received 8 by the agency. Any subsequent assessment published pursuant to this 9 paragraph or paragraph (b) of subdivision five of this section need only 10 include comments not addressed in any previously published assessment of 11 public comment for the rule; provided, however, that the notice of 12 revised rule making or adoption shall contain the date any previous 13 notice of revised rule making containing an assessment of public comment 14 was published in the state register. 15 § 3. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 5 of section 202 of the state admin- 16 istrative procedure act, as amended by chapter 171 of the laws of 1994, 17 is amended to read as follows: 18 (b) Except with respect to any rule defined in subparagraph (ii) of 19 paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section one hundred two of this 20 chapter, each agency shall publish and make available to the public an 21 assessment of public comment for a rule adopted pursuant to this subdi- 22 vision or paragraph (e) of subdivision six of this section. Such assess- 23 ment shall be based upon any written comments submitted to the agency 24 and any comments presented at any public hearing held on the proposed 25 rule by the agency. The assessment shall contain: (i) a summary and an 26 analysis of the issues raised and significant alternatives suggested by 27 any such comments, (ii) a statement of the reasons why any significant 28 alternatives were not incorporated into the rule and (iii) a description 29 of any changes made in the rule as a result of such comments. If any 30 comments included estimates of projected costs of the proposed rule to 31 the state, local governments or regulated persons, which differed 32 significantly from those presented by the agency in its regulatory 33 impact statement, regulatory flexibility analysis, or rural area flexi- 34 bility analysis, the assessment shall also summarize the agency's 35 assessment of such estimates. Copies of comments which include esti- 36 mates of projected costs which differ significantly from the agency's 37 estimates shall accompany the assessment of public comment distributed 38 with the rule making notice pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivision 39 six-a of this section. If no comments have been received, the notice of 40 adoption shall state that no comments were received by the agency. 41 Comments submitted or presented to the agency by a legislative committee 42 or commission or by a member or members of the senate or assembly shall 43 be considered public comment and shall be summarized and analyzed in the 44 assessment. 45 § 4. Paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of subdivision 3 of section 202-a of 46 the state administrative procedure act, paragraph (b) as amended by 47 chapter 229 of the laws of 2000 and paragraphs (c) and (d) as amended by 48 chapter 520 of the laws of 1992, are amended to read as follows: 49 (b) Needs and benefits.

The statement shall identify the class- 56 es of persons or entities which would benefit from adoption of the rule,S. 2829 3 1 shall briefly describe the nature of the benefits which such classes of 2 persons or entities would derive thereby, and shall indicate the infor- 3 mation and methodology upon which its analysis of the benefits is based; 4 (c) Costs. A statement detailing the projected [costs] cost impacts, 5 including opportunity costs and other non-monetary costs as well as 6 monetary cost, of the rule, which shall indicate: 7 (i) [the] any positive or adverse impacts on costs for the implementa- 8 tion of, and continuing compliance with, the rule to regulated persons; 9 (ii) [the] any positive or adverse impacts on costs for the implemen- 10 tation of, and continued administration of, the rule to the agency and 11 to the state and its local governments; and 12 (iii) any positive or adverse impacts on costs of persons or entities 13 who are not regulated persons but are otherwise affected by the rule; 14 and the information, including the source or sources of such informa- 15 tion, and methodology upon which the cost analysis is based; [or16(iv) where an agency finds that it cannot fully provide a statement of17such costs, a statement setting forth its best estimate, which shall18indicate the information and methodology upon which such best estimate19is based and the reason or reasons why a complete cost statement cannot20be provided;] 21 (d) Paperwork. A statement describing the need for any reporting 22 requirements, including forms and other paperwork and any reporting by 23 electronic media, which would be required as a result of the rule; 24 § 5.
