−'''Non-businesses''' consist of any stakeholder that does not meet the definition of a business in the [[/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/R-4.5/FullText.html|Red Tape Reduction Act]], which defines a business as ''"a person or entity that engages in commercial activities in Canada, other than for a public purpose. (entreprise)".'' This includes may include private citizens, any level of government, a First Nations band, a self-governing First Nation, a school, college or university, a hospital, or charity.
−'''Small businesses''' are defined based on the commonly used definitions for what is considered a “small” business in Canada, which are any business, including its affiliates, that has fewer than 100 employees or less than $5 million in annual gross revenues. This includes micro businesses, which have fewer than 5 employees or less than $30,000 in annual gross revenues.

+====== Growth Rates ======
+'''Annual growth rates:''' At the moment there is only an option to exponential growth. Users should enter the average annual growth rate as a percentage of each stakeholder. If the growth rate is left blank, they it is assumed to be zero.
+'''Assumptions and Notes''' : As a best practice, users should record the assumptions and notes about that stakeholder group.
+You can view the '''Annual Stakeholder Count''' worksheet to check the numbers entered make sense.
+Finally, There is the navigation arrow to move to the next step or click the '''Activities tab.'''
+==== Entering Activities ====
+This section discusses Step Three of the Calculator implementation process. This information can be entered directly into the spreadsheet in the '''Activities''' tab.
+[[File:Activities Tab 1of2 .png|alt=Activities Tab 1 of 2 |center|thumb|1375x1375px|Activities Tab 1 of 2 ]]
+New activities should be entered in the Activities Table at the row indicated by "Type Here →".
+====== '''Activity''' ('''column B'''): ======
+This is a description of the activity. The description should be clear and easy to cross-reference requirements described in the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement. The Activity description will be used in the auto-generated text on the One-for-One Tab. The same activity name can be used on multiple rows, any reported values on the output tabs will combine all activities with the same name.
+====== '''Administrative or Compliance:''' ======
+'''(Column C)''' This involves selecting either “compliance" or "administrative" from a drop-down list.
+[[/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/R-4.5/page-1.html#h-425976|Red Tape Reduction Act]] defines administrative activity for business as "anything that is necessary to demonstrate compliance with a regulation, including the collecting, processing, reporting and retaining of information and the completing of forms."
+If the RCC is being used to calculate government costs, then Administrative activities would be anything necessary to record and confirm compliance, such as reviewing submitted reports and forms.
+====== '''In or Out:''' ======
+An activity the imposes a cost on the selected stakeholder is an "In".
+If a regulatory proposal is removing the requirement to perform an activity, then it is counted as an "Out".
+You would then select "upfront" or "ongoing.“
+•Upfront costs are incurred immediately at the start of the period and are discounted at the beginning of the analysis.
+•Ongoing costs are subject to periodic discounting.
+Following that, you would select the start year, choosing any year on or after the registration period.
+Similarly, you would select an end year, which can be any year after the start year or the end of the period. For activities that only occur in one year, you would select the same year as the start and end. This is different from the previous versions.
+Next, you would choose the affected stakeholder group, which is one of the groups listed on your stakeholder profile sheet.
+Afterward, you would select the stakeholder type, specifying whether it applies to businesses, non-businesses, small businesses, or large businesses.
+Percent affected is the number of businesses impacted per year. If, for instance, you have 100 businesses for a particular stakeholder and only half of them are affected per year, you would indicate the percentage affected, in this case, 50%.
+Finally, you can choose whether it is a capital cost or a labor cost. Although it is unlikely for capital costs to be administrative, there is an option to do so. Keep in mind that a warning may be displayed, but you can proceed despite the warning.
