(a) identify by class or group the small businesses probably affected by the proposed rule;
(b) include a statement of the probable significant and direct effects of the proposed rule on the small businesses identified in subsection (1)(a); and
(c) include a description of any alternative methods that may be reasonably implemented to minimize or eliminate any potential adverse effects of adopting the proposed rule while still achieving the purpose of the proposed rule.
