V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 53. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) 87 generally requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The RFA mandates consideration of regulatory alternatives that accomplish the stated objectives of applicable statutes and minimize any significant economic impact on small entities.88 In lieu of preparing a regulatory flexibility analysis, an agency may certify that a final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.89 54. The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Size Standards develops the numerical definition of a small business.90 The SBA size standard for electric utilities is based on the number of employees, including affiliates.91 Under SBA’s size standards, a transmission owner covered under the category of Electric Bulk Power Transmission and Control (NAICS code 221121) 92 is small if, including its affiliates, it employs 500 or fewer people.93 55.
