  (1)  The efficiency with which the program operates;

  (2)  An identification of the objectives intended for the program and the problem or need that the program was intended to address, the extent to which the objectives have been achieved, and any activities of the agency in addition to those granted by statute and the authority for such activities;

  (3)  An assessment of less restrictive or alternative methods of performing any rule or regulation that the agency performs that could adequately protect the public;
