Example Implementation:

interface RegulatoryChange {
  id: string;
  source: string;
  description: string;
  effectiveDate: string;
  regulation: string;
}

interface ImpactAssessment {
  requiresAction: boolean;
  impactLevel: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' | 'critical';
  requirements: string[];
  recommendedTimeline: string;
  owner: string;
  testingSteps: string[];
}

interface ImplementationPlan {
  change: RegulatoryChange;
  impactLevel: string;
  technicalRequirements: string[];
  timeline: string;
  responsibleParty: string;
  testingProtocol: string[];
}

class RegulatoryChangeManager {
  private regulatorySources: string[];
  private implementationPlans: ImplementationPlan[];

  constructor() {
    this.regulatorySources = [
      "https://ftc.gov/compliance",
      "https://gdpr.eu/updates/",
      "https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa"
    ];
    this.implementationPlans = [];
  }

  async monitorRegulatoryChanges(): Promise<void> {
    const changes: RegulatoryChange[] = [];

    for (const source of this.regulatorySources) {
      const newChanges = await this.checkForUpdates(source);
      if (newChanges) {

      }
    }

    for (const change of changes) {
      const impactAssessment = await this.assessImpact(change);
      if (impactAssessment.requiresAction) {
        this.createImplementationPlan(change, impactAssessment);
      }
    }
  }

  private createImplementationPlan(change: RegulatoryChange, assessment: ImpactAssessment): void {
    const plan: ImplementationPlan = {

      technicalRequirements: assessment.requirements,
      timeline: assessment.recommendedTimeline,
      responsibleParty: assessment.owner,
      testingProtocol: assessment.testingSteps
    };

    this.implementationPlans.push(plan);
  }

  private async checkForUpdates(source: string): Promise<RegulatoryChange[]> {
    // Implementation for checking regulatory updates
    return [];
  }

  private async assessImpact(change: RegulatoryChange): Promise<ImpactAssessment> {
    // Implementation for impact assessment
    return {
      requiresAction: false,
      impactLevel: 'low',
