Greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation: EPA will re-propose GHG standards for new sources this September. EPA proposed similar standards in 2012 but later withdrew the measure. In addition to rules for new sources, which will supposedly not burden the economy, EPA will issue standards for existing power plants next June, which will undoubtedly impose significant costs. Strangely, EPA does not initially believe the regulation of existing power plants will cost $100 million. Affordable Care Act (ACA) : with the administration racing, and in some instances retreating, to implement the ACA, there are plenty of regulations still to come in 2013. Originally, HHS planned to issue new rules for calorie labeling in April. The rules, with costs exceeding $1 billion combined, are now scheduled for September. Combined, scheduled ACA rulemakings could impose more than $4.4 billion in burdens. Dodd-Frank: there are plenty of costs and paperwork burden hours associated with financial reform, but rarely are these burdens quantified and monetized. Below are seven Dodd-Frank rulemakings scheduled during the next few months (labeled in italics). Though they have few monetized costs, Basel III and new regulatory capital rules are all scheduled for July.
