Extend small business review panels to all federal agencies
What the document says“SBREFA panel requirements should be extended to all federal agencies.”
The panel process lets small businesses give input on agency rulemakings, gives them procedural rights, and allows judicial review where an agency violates the process. It currently applies to only some agencies.
What the document actually says“SBREFA panel requirements should be extended to all federal agencies.”
These review panels apply to some agencies. They should apply to all of them.
Small firms get a say on some new rules. A panel hears them. The book says every agency should have to use one.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate touches the small business review panel process or the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The two closest by title are unrelated: rule-2026-15798 concerns labor arbitration panels at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and law-small-business-innovation-economic-security-act extends the SBIR and STTR research programs without altering any rulemaking procedure. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
