Federal agencies would face stricter rules for creating new regulations and guidance.
This bill would make federal agencies follow more steps and conduct more detailed analysis when creating new rules and official guidance. It would require agencies to get approval from a White House office before proposing rules and to track the real-world impact of major regulations for years. The changes aim to increase transparency and public input in the rulemaking process.
Today, federal agencies have established procedures for creating rules and guidance, but with more discretion in the level of analysis, public comment periods, and how they justify their decisions. After this bill, agencies would face significantly more detailed requirements. These include more analysis, public engagement, and oversight from a White House office (OIRA). This would especially apply to economically impactful "major rules" and "major guidance." Courts would also review agency legal interpretations differently, potentially leading to more challenges to agency rules.
