Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 6329. This is about improving the quality and transparency of information Federal agencies use to make rules.
The bill would require OMB to update their guidance to ensure agencies use high-quality, reliable information when creating new rules. That means the best scientific, technical, economic, or statistical information available.
Agencies would also have to make public the models, methods, and information sources they use in rulemaking. Anyone in the public can then give feedback on the information agencies use. The bill requires OMB to report any public complaints to Congress.
Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the sponsor of this bill. This bill passed the House overwhelmingly last Congress, and I again urge my colleagues to support the bill.
