                                  H.R. 5226
                      Regulatory Integrity Act of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                 on May 17, 2016


CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5226 would have no significant cost over the next
five years. The bill could affect direct spending by agencies not funded though annual
appropriations; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that
any net increase in spending by those agencies would be negligible. Enacting H.R. 5226
would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5226 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

H.R. 5226 would direct each federal agency to make information regarding their
regulatory actions publicly available in a searchable format on a prominent website. That
information would have to include the date a regulation was considered, its current status,
an estimate of when the regulation would be final, and a brief description of the
regulation. In addition, agencies would be required to track the details of all public
communications about pending regulatory actions. Because this information is already
collected by regulatory agencies, CBO estimates that the cost of making it available
online would not be significant.

H.R. 5226 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was approved
by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
