-Identify, describe, and provide a rationale for the chosen policy.
-Provide relevancy and its effect on the chosen industry.
-Describe any deviation from the current policy that would improve its effectiveness.
-Distinguish how the national policy objectives affect local behavior and political viewpoints.
-If your recommended changes are implemented, would there be ways to measure policy improvements?
-Examine what level of oversight national government should provide to the chosen policy.
