together with recommendations for reform. The Act states that the 
report should contain estimates of the costs and benefits of 
regulations in the aggregate, by agency and agency program, and by 
major rule, as well as an analysis of impacts of Federal regulation on 
State, local, and tribal governments, small businesses, wages, and 
economic growth. The Act also states that the report should be subject 
to notice and comment and peer review.
