The Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy has identified the top 10 rules that should be reviewed and reformed as part of the office's Regulatory Review and Reform (r3) initiative. The agency narrowed down the list from more than 80 "constructive" suggestions from small businesses.

Rules imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency top the list, including those pertaining to air monitoring for dry cleaners, protective drinking water standards, solid waste recycling, and oil spills.

Small businesses also recommended for review rules from the Federal Aviation Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, among other agencies.
