I’ve never prepared a RIS before and I know little about cost-benefit analysis. Who can help?
You should contact the OBPR for technical assistance and training on RISs, undertaking cost-benefit and risk analysis and using the Business Cost Calculator (BCC).When an agency/department has no discretion in the development of some elements of a regulatory proposal (because they are specified in the primary legislation,) does the agency/department have to provide a full analysis of these elements in a RIS?No. An agency/department needs to provide a full analysis of those elements of a proposal only where discretion is available. Where no discretion is available for elements of a regulatory proposal because they are specified in the primary legislation, it is sufficient for the agency/department to refer to the non-discretionary elements in the RIS. These elements should have been subject to the Government’s regulatory impact analysis requirements when the legislation was developed.
