Holding Agencies Accountable Act

HR 6514, the Holding Agencies Accountable Act, requires federal agencies to publicly disclose the date they submit a final rule to Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO). When an agency submits a final rule, its head must notify the Archivist of the submission date, and the Archivist will then include that date in the rule's entry in the Federal Register. This law uses existing agency funding and does not create new spending. The bill directly affects all federal agencies that issue final rules, increasing transparency about when agencies formally submit regulations for review.
