By: FEDweek StaffThe House has passed HR-1515, to require agencies to publish their regulatory guidance online in a single, easily accessible location. New guidance would have to be posted as it is issued; agencies would have six months to post previous guidance, and any guidance that has been rescinded would have to remain posted with a disclaimer that it no longer applies.
The House passed a similar bill last year but the Senate did not take it up. A counterpart, S-252, recently was introduced there.
Sponsors say that while disclosure requirements already are in place, agencies vary in how they disseminate such documents and centralized publishing will make searching for guidance documents more efficient, while also allowing for transparency about the number and substance of guidance documents in effect.
The House also has passed
* HR-758, to require the Postal Service to collect and analyze data on injuries and deaths that result from traffic crashes involving vehicles carrying mail. Any USPS employee or contractor involved in a traffic crash would be required to report to the Postal Service within three days of the incident.
* HR-856, to require OMB to evaluate the “lowest price technically acceptable” provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation to determine if that purchasing process creates any national security risks for federal agencies that focus procurement on price over any other technical or operational factors.
