Reviews the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) of 1980, which requires Federal agencies to consider impact of their forthcoming regulations on "small entities," such as small businesses, small governments, and small not-for-profit organizations. Summarizes GAO assessments of RFA implementation; and analyzes H.R. 527, the Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act of 2011, to define "economic impact" as including indirect effects that are "reasonably foreseeable," require chief counsel for SBA advocacy to issue rules governing agency compliance with the RFA, broaden definition of a covered rule, and expand use of advocacy review panels before proposed rules are published
