business regulatory budget for a fiscal year is not greater than zero.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the last day of a fiscal 
year, the Administrator shall submit to Congress a report on any 
regulations issued by other Federal agencies that have an impact on 
small business concerns. Such report shall include rules issued during 
the fiscal year preceding and the fiscal year following the date of the

agency.
    (c) Small Business Regulatory Budget Defined.--In this section, the 
term ``small business regulatory budget'' means the cost to small
