Addison Winchell is the CEO of a printing firm located in Lexington, Kentucky. The state office of environment quality has proposed a rule mandating the use of soy inks and recycled paper by all printers in the state. Winchell says the expense will put him out of business. What can Winchell do?

The correct answer is a. Provide comments to the proposed rule.

Explanation:

Before effectively applying any state norm or regulation, the comments made about the different proposals are put to the consideration of the interested public in order to have full knowledge of the impact that any decision of this type may have on industries. In the previous example, it is assumed that the standard document is just a draft that is put to evaluation to consider its suitability for the benefit of the environment and the economy in general. Winchell must participate in this call or surely the application of the new norm can end the operations of the printing press.
