Congress 116th
Date Requested July 22, 2020
Requested By Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Date Sent Nov. 10, 2020
Description:
S. 4222 would require federal agencies to report to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) whenever the agency revokes, suspends, replaces, amends, or makes ineffective a rule. Such reports must include a description of the provisions of the rule. Because the bill would not impose a significant additional administrative burden on federal agencies or GAO, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2025 period; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting S. 4222 could affect direct spending by some agencies that are allowed to use fees, receipts from the sale of goods, and other collections to cover operating costs. CBO estimates that any net changes in direct spending by those agencies would be negligible because most of them can adjust amounts collected to reflect changes in operating costs.
