Book excerpt: This guide is intended to help government agencies to approach the task of assessing regulatory alternatives in an organized and consistent fashion. Part 1 reviews the process of finding the best alternatives by providing a series of questions to consider, reflecting the government's regulatory policy and the key information requirements of a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement. The questions also reflect the latest thinking on how to integrate risk management principles into regulatory decision-making and how to maximize compliance with regulatory requirements. Part 2 provides questions to consider regarding the factors that affect the behaviour of those affected by a regulation or alternative. Part 3 explains alternatives to regulation, such as taxation, loans and guarantees, user charges, standards, insurance, promotion of voluntary action, and modification of private law rights and procedures. The final part discusses alternative forms of regulation, including direct product controls, supplier entry and exit controls, production process controls, information controls, and marketable rights.
