Regulatory Impact analyses position

The Chemical Industry Position As this paper has shown, cost-benefit analysis has now been incorporated into the regulatory process of many, though not all, agencies dealing with health, safety and the environment. The American chemical industry is, of course, profoundly affected by those agencies, since their rules deal with its operations, its products, its wastes and its relation to the conmunities in which chemical plants are located. It is therefore worthwhile to examine what the position of the industry is toward cost-benefit analysis in regulatory impact determinations.
