CLFP Regulatory Compliance Cost Survey

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

When meeting with legislators or regulators CLFP staff often discuss the complex and expensive regulatory burden facing food processors and other businesses in California. However, most of our data is relatively general and it would be very useful to have information that provides more detail about the scope of this problem. To obtain this data CLFP will be distributing a survey to its members to generate information that will provide a more accurate picture of the actual regulatory costs and requirements. The survey questions will focus on state and local costs associated with the various permits, fees, surcharges and taxes required to run a food processing operation, the estimated number of staff hours devoted to ensuring regulatory compliance, the costs incurred to purchase equipment and supplies to satisfy permit requirements, and the costs incurred to hire environmental or other consultants to fulfill regulatory compliance obligations. The survey will be sent to all CLFP processors in June and we encourage your participation. All responses will be kept confidential and used only for aggregation purposes. If you have any questions about the survey please contact Rob Neenan.
