Bill > S3416

This bill, titled the Safeguarding U.S. Rulemaking Act, amends Section 553 of title 5 of the United States Code, which governs the process for federal agencies to create new regulations. The key provision is the addition of a new subsection (f) that prohibits any foreign government determined by the Secretary of Commerce to be a "foreign adversary" – a term defined in existing regulations (specifically, section 791.4(a) of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations) – and any individual or entity that is a citizen or incorporated in such a foreign government, from participating in the rulemaking process or petitioning an agency. This restriction is implemented by adding exceptions to the existing procedures for public notice and comment, meaning that agencies will now exclude these designated foreign entities from providing input on proposed rules.
