Reviewing Government Regulators
RALEIGH — Government regulations cost each typical American household about $8,000 a year, an EPA official said recently at a John Locke Foundation luncheon. In describing the value of reviewing the type and extent of government regulatory activities, Allen C. Basala, a senior economist with the Environmental Protection Agency's Center for Air Quality Planning and Standards, said that the savings could total between $3.6 billion to $21 billion per year.
