Services
Consulting
We assist clients in obtaining pertinent information and provide advice which lead to solutions that are advantageous to the client and the public. Our comparative strength is in providing approaches to analyze complex policy problems and generate clear, logical, and data supported solutions and conclusions.
Economic Impact Analysis
We help clients examine the impact of proposed rules and regulations in conformance with OMB and Agency guidance. We follow the guidance of Executive Orders 12866, 13563 and other relevant executive orders, as well as the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. We also consider the impact of regulatory costs on firms, where appropriate as directed by the Small Business Administration as well as the all environmental assessments in accordance with Federal environmental regulations, guidelines, procedures, and statutes.
Cost-Benefit Analysis and Training
We have extensive experience conducting cost-benefit analyses and training for a number of clients, including: DOT (Office of the Secretary, Office of Pipeline Safety, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration); DHS (U.S. Coast Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Private sector Office, and National Protection and Programs Directorate); CPSC; FDA and SEC. Mr. Prunella is widely recognized as an expert in regulatory and cost benefit analysis (the Washington Post has described him as a “Pioneer in Cost-Benefit Analysis”).
Project Management
We offer project management support, including: providing assistance with the planning and organization of project resources, defining the goals and objectives of the project, determining project milestones, and creating performance measures and advising on performance measure methodology. We have completed this type of study for various government agencies, including HUD and SBA.
Evaluation
We conduct an assessment of the design, implementation, and effects of a program to understand the outcomes and impacts of a given program. We collect and analyze data and present evaluation results in an understandable manner that can be used by stake holders to implement a program or to make changes that will improve the status quo of the client and the public. We also conduct case studies. We have conducted evaluations for HUD, and SBA.
