prevent or reduce4  7,b7 ,whether the   
implementation1 compliance1             
administration1 enforcement or other    
costs of the rule or set of rules to the
 economy are not justified by the       
benefits to society within the ,united  
,states produced by the expenditure of  
those costs4  7,c7 ,whether the rule or 
set of rules has been rendered          
unnecessary or obsolete1 taking into    
consideration the length of time since

which technology1 economic conditions1

excessive compliance costs or is        
otherwise excessively burdensome1 as    
compared to alternatives that--  7i7    
specify performance objectives rather   
than conduct or manners of compliance2

encourage desired behavior2  7iii7      
provide information upon which choices  
can be made by the public2  7iv7        
incorporate other innovative            
alternatives rather than agency actions 
that specify conduct or manners of      
compliance2 or  7v7 could in other ways 

substantially lower costs without       
significantly undermining effectiveness4
  7,g7 ,whether the rule or set of rules
 inhibits innovation in or growth of the
 ,united ,states economy1 such as by    
impeding the introduction or use of     
safer or equally safe technology that is
 newer or more efficient than technology
 required by or permissible under the   
rule or set of rules4  7,h7 ,whether or
