[Webinar] FTC: Cost/Benefit Analysis of Proposed Rules – A Deeper Dive

This panel of experts will explore how a federal agency undertakes the cost-benefit analysis for proposed rules, comparing independent agencies to those subject to OIRA review, and provide practical tips for lawyers and economists working on agency rulemaking comments.
