Ensuring Accountability in Agency Rulemaking Act

This bill requires, subject to a limited exception, that any agency rule promulgated under notice and comment procedures must be (1) initiated by a senior appointee (e.g., an individual who was appointed by the President or is a non-career member of the Senior Executive Service), and (2) issued and signed by an individual who was appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs must issue guidance for agencies to implement this requirement.
