F. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

Official source

The RFA requires agencies to analyze options for regulatory relief of small entities, if a rule has a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Section 71119(d) of the WFTC legislation directs that not later than June 1, 2026, the Secretary of HHS shall promulgate an IFC for purposes of implementing section 1902(xx)(11)(d) of the Act, related to community engagement for certain adults. It also explicitly notes that any action taken to implement this section of the Act is not subject to section 533 of the Administrative Procedures Act ( 5 U.S. Code 553 ), which generally requires Federal agencies to follow notice of proposed rulemaking procedures. Because this IFC is not preceded by a general notice of proposed rulemaking, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does not apply to this IFC.
