GOVERNMENT-OWNED AND/OR -CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS
(GOCCs) COVERED BY REPUBLIC ACT (RA) NO.11032

SUBJECT EFFECTIVITY AND TRANSITORY PERIOD OF ARTA MEMORANDUM

CIRCULAR (MC) NO. 2022-06

DATE 03 May 2023

1. This Advisory is being issued to provide guidance to National Government Agencies

(NGAs), Government-Owned and/or -Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) and other
instrumentalities of the Government in relation to the implementation of the Anti-Red Tape
Authority (ARTA) Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 2022-06 that establishes the
National Policy on Regulatory Management System (NPRMS), which took effect on
17 December 2022.

Section 13.1 of the said issuance provides for a six (6) months transition period for
covered regulatory agencies under Section 3 of RA 11032 to strategize, plan, and
implement the provisions of the Circular.

2. Republic Act (RA) No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government
Service Delivery (EODB-EGSD) Act of 2018, mandated ARTA to recommend policies,
processes, and systems to improve regulatory management. With this, the Authority
intends to implement a policy that shall institutionalize a National RMS and provide a
common framework for good regulatory practices in the issuance, implementation, and
review of regulations.

3. Moreover, Section 5 of RA 11032 provides that ARTA shall coordinate with all government
offices covered under Section 3 of the RA in the review of existing laws, executive
issuances and local ordinances, and recommend the repeal of the same if deemed
outdated, redundant, and adds undue regulatory burden to the transacting public. All
proposed regulations of the said government agencies shall undergo Regulatory Impact
Assessment (RIA) to establish if the proposed regulation does not add undue regulatory
burden and cost to these agencies and the applicants or requesting parties: Provided that,
when necessary, any proposed regulation may undergo pilot implementation to assess
regulatory impact.

4. Hence, ARTA is hereby reiterating its instruction for covered agencies to accomplish the
Regulatory Mapping Form that shall serve as a "profile" of the agency for ARTA's
reference and use.

Agencies may accomplish and submit their respective regulatory mapping either online
via https://bit.ly/ARTARequlatoryMapping or sent through email as an attachment via
regulatorymanagement@arta.gov.ph with the subject line: "Mapping 2023_AGENCY
NAME".
