Framework para análise do impacto regulatório no Brasil.

Abstract

In Brazil, the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) is responsible for controlling, regulating, authorizing and inspecting the production and marketing of biofuels. This includes carrying out a Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), established by Law 13.874 of September 20, 2019 and regulated by Decree No. 10.41 of June 30, 2020. The Decree establishes all the steps that must be observed when carrying out the RIA and indicates that regulators must create a systematic process for each product or service subject to regulation. The aim of the study is to assess progress in RIAs for bioethanol, with a focus on compliance with Decree 10.411/2020. A qualitative methodology was used with an exploratory and descriptive approach, and a documentary analysis was carried out of 41 RIA reports produced by the ANP from 2019 to 2025, 35 of which were drawn up after the enactment of the Laws and Decrees and 11 of which deal with biofuels. This article concludes that the ANP has already put RIAs into practice in accordance with the decree, which has helped to improve the direction of regulations, promoting a more predictable, sustainable and fair sector. However, the agency still needs to better structure the process.
