Let me just bring up a couple thoughts on that.

Do you believe that is also agency guidance?

We are absolutely taking seriously some of the recommendations from GAO.

Again, I want to reemphasize that a lot of the issues we are going to talk about today are not about the rules themselves. They are about the process of it.

Significant and guidance is really the exception, not the rule.

So, I think that is a fair question to ask when they, again, find out one day that there is suddenly a very expensive rule that is going to cost them and their consumers a tremendous amount of money for something they wish they would have…

there is an expectation, as you mentioned before, there are very few significant guidance documents

Make it stop. Every time I turn on my computer in the morning, there is a new set of guidance that are coming down to me.

No one is arguing on safety issues, but we are arguing on process to be able to make sure that we can get that.

It would be helpful if we knew how that process worked, and right now, that is a black box to us.

developing their own process seems to go away and you just have to do it this way

Do you believe that memo is an agency guidance? Is that the perspective that it is a guidance document, not a new regulation, when that came out?

We have millions of Americans that want to start a business that now, suddenly, every franchiser is deciding, I am not sure I want to have that.

Just some way to be able to get it all.

I hear from them that they feel the government is really out to get them through some of these memorandums and changes.

This does not feel like it went through APA if you are those affected.

Americans are saying, I am getting guidance things that I do not know what to do with.

Thank you, all of you, and I am going to do a quick set of questions here and we will go through at a pretty rapid pace on this and then start moving around.

Do you believe that is agency guidance for that?

If we are going to do that, should we not actually go through the full process and to be able to say, new people are affected by this that were not previously affected.

I really do appreciate the witnesses coming and your preparation.

Cost-benefit analysis is a really specific term that is used in the process of rulemaking.

The cumulative effect for them has the same thing. So, this is not just an issue of a law that has been passed.

The challenge is trying to find it if you are the new person.

we are still a Nation of the people, by the people, for the people, which would mean people should still have engagement with their government.
