WASHINGTON — Experts on the Regulatory Flexibility Act asserted in a letter submitted during the recent 2257 public comment period that the Justice Department has failed to meet their requirement under the RFA to consider the impact of 2257 regulations on small businesses.The letter, primarily authored by David E. Frulla, a partner in the firm Kelley, Drye, Collier & Shannon, honed in on the fact that the Justice Department apparently has done no research whatsoever on the economic impact of 2257 and the burden that compliance would impose on small businesses within the industry.
FSC Chairman Jeffrey Douglas told XBIZ that the RFA concerns cited by Frulla in his letter are “earth-shattering” for the Justice Department’s continuing efforts to enforce 2257.
“I don’t know how the Justice Department is going to proceed,” Douglas said. “If they ignore [the RFA claims] the statute will be enjoined — hopefully root and branch. If they comply, then they have to start all over again, and consider the economic impact of the entire statute.”
