_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To require the periodic review and automatic termination of Federal
regulations.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Regulatory Sunset and Review Act of
2013''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSE.
The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to require agencies to regularly review their
significant rules to determine whether they should be continued
without change, modified, consolidated with another rule, or
terminated;
(2) to require agencies to consider the comments of the
public, the regulated community, and the Congress regarding the
actual costs and burdens of rules being reviewed under this
Act, and whether the rules are obsolete, unnecessary,
duplicative, conflicting, or otherwise inconsistent;
(3) to require that any rules continued in effect under
this Act meet all the legal requirements that would apply to
the issuance of a new rule, including any applicable Federal
cost-benefit and risk assessment requirements;
(4) to provide for the review of significant rules and
other rules through a sunset review process and to provide for
the repeal or other change in such rules in accordance with
chapters 5 and 7 of title 5, United States Code;
(5) to provide for a petition process that allows the
public and appropriate committees of the Congress to request
that other rules that are not significant be reviewed in the
same manner as significant rules; and
(6) to require the Administrator to coordinate and be
responsible for sunset reviews conducted by the agencies.
SEC. 3. REVIEW OF REGULATIONS.
A covered rule shall be subject to review in accordance with this
Act. Upon completion of such review, the agency which has jurisdiction
over such rule shall--
(1) issue a final report under section 8(c)(2) continuing
such rule, or
(2) conduct a rulemaking in accordance with section 8(d) to
modify, consolidate with another rule, or terminate such rule.
SEC. 4. RULES COVERED.
(a) Covered Rules.--For purposes of this Act, a covered rule is a
rule that--
(1) is determined by the Administrator to be a significant
rule under subsection (b); or
(2) is any other rule designated by the agency which has
jurisdiction over such rule or the Administrator under this Act
for sunset review.
(b) Significant Rules.--For purposes of this Act, a significant
rule is a rule that the Administrator determines--
(1) has resulted in or is likely to result in an annual
effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or more;
(2) is a major rule; or
(3) was issued pursuant to a significant regulatory action,
as that term is defined in Executive Order 12866 (as in effect
on the first date that Executive order was in effect).
(c) Public Petitions.--
(1) In general.--Any person adversely affected by a rule
that is not a significant rule may submit a petition to the
agency which has jurisdiction over the rule requesting that
such agency designate the rule for sunset review. Such agency
shall designate the rule for sunset review unless such agency
determines that it would not be in the public interest to
conduct a sunset review of the rule. In making such
determination, such agency shall take into account the number
and nature of other petitions received on the same rule and
whether or not such petitions have been denied.
(2) Form and content of petition.--A petition under
paragraph (1)--
(A) shall be in writing, but is not otherwise
required to be in any particular form; and
(B) shall identify the rule for which sunset review
is requested with reasonable specificity and state on
its face that the petitioner seeks sunset review of the
rule.
(3) Response required for noncomplying petitions.--If an
agency determines that a petition does not meet the
requirements of this subsection, the agency shall provide a
response to the petitioner within 30 days after receiving the
petition, notifying the petitioner of the problem and providing
information on how to formulate a petition that meets those
requirements.
(4) Decision within 90 days.--Within the 90-day period
beginning on the date of receiving a petition that meets the
requirements of this subsection, the agency shall transmit a
response to the petitioner stating whether the petition was
granted or denied, except that the agency may extend such
period by a total of not more than 30 days.
(5) Petitions deemed granted for substantial inexcusable
delay.--A petition for sunset review of a rule is deemed to
have been granted by an agency, and such agency is deemed to
have designated the rule for sunset review, if a court finds
there is a substantial and inexcusable delay, beyond the period
specified in paragraph (4), in notifying the petitioner of the
agency's determination to grant or deny the petition.
(6) Public log.--Each agency shall maintain a public log of
petitions submitted under this subsection, that includes the
status or disposition of each petition.
(d) Congressional Requests.--
(1) In general.--An appropriate committee of the Congress,
or a majority of the majority party members or a majority of
nonmajority party members of such committee, may request in
writing that the Administrator designate any rule that is not a
significant rule for sunset review. The Administrator shall
designate such rule for sunset review within 30 days after
receipt of such request unless the Administrator determines
that it would not be in the public interest to conduct a sunset
review of such rule.
(2) Notice of denial.--If the Administrator denies a
congressional request under this subsection, the Administrator
shall transmit to the congressional committee making the
request a notice stating the reasons for the denial.
(e) Publication of Notice of Designation for Sunset Review.--After
designating a rule under subsection (c) or (d) for sunset review, the
agency or the Administrator shall promptly publish a notice of that
designation in the Federal Register.
SEC. 5. CRITERIA FOR SUNSET REVIEW.
(a) Compliance With Other Laws.--In order for any rule subject to
sunset review to continue without change or to be modified or
consolidated in accordance with this Act, such rule must be authorized
by law and meet all applicable requirements that would apply if it were
issued as a new rule pursuant to section 553 of title 5, United States
Code, or other statutory rulemaking procedures required for that rule.
For purposes of this section, the term ``applicable requirements''
includes any requirement for cost-benefit analysis and any requirement
for standardized risk analysis and risk assessment.
(b) Governing Law.--If there is a conflict between applicable
requirements and an Act under which a rule was issued, the conflict
shall be resolved in the same manner as such conflict would be resolved
if the agency were issuing a new rule.
SEC. 6. SUNSET REVIEW PROCEDURES.
(a) Functions of the Administrator.--
(1) Notice of rules subject to review.--
(A) Inventory and first list.--Within 6 months
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Administrator shall conduct an inventory of existing
rules and publish a first list of covered rules. The
list shall--
(i) specify the particular group to which
each significant rule is assigned under
paragraph (2), and state the review deadline
for all significant rules in each such group;
and
(ii) include other rules subject to sunset
review for any other reason, and state the
review deadline for each such rule.
(B) Subsequent lists.--After publication of the
first list under subparagraph (A), the Administrator
shall publish an updated list of covered rules at least
annually, specifying the review deadline for each rule
on the list.
(2) Grouping of significant rules in first list.--
(A) Staggered review.--The Administrator shall
assign each significant rule in effect on the date of
enactment of this Act to one of 4 groups established by
the Administrator to permit orderly and prioritized
sunset reviews, and specify for each group an initial
review deadline in accordance with section 7(a)(1).
(B) Prioritizations.--In determining which rules
shall be given priority in time in that assignment, the
Administrator shall consult with appropriate agencies,
and shall prioritize rule based on--
(i) the grouping of related rules in
accordance with paragraph (3);
(ii) the extent of the cost of each rule
and on the regulated community and the public,
with priority in time given to those rules that
impose the greatest cost;
(iii) consideration of the views of
regulated persons, including State and local
governments;
(iv) whether a particular rule has recently
been subject to cost-benefit analysis and risk
assessment, with priority in time given to
those rules that have not been subject to such
analysis and assessment;
(v) whether a particular rule was issued
under a statutory provision that provides
relatively greater discretion to an official in
issuing the rule, with priority in time given
to those rules that were issued under
provisions that provide relatively greater
discretion;
(vi) the burden of reviewing each rule on
the reviewing agency; and
(vii) the need for orderly processing and
the timely completion of the sunset reviews of
existing rules.
(3) Grouping of related rules.--The Administrator shall
group related rules under paragraph (2) (and designate other
rules) for simultaneous sunset review based upon their subject
matter similarity, functional interrelationships, and other
relevant factors to ensure comprehensive and coordinated review
of redundant, overlapping, and conflicting rules and
requirements. The Administrator shall ensure simultaneous
sunset reviews of covered rules without regard to whether they
were issued by the same agency, and shall designate any other
rule for sunset review that is necessary for a comprehensive
sunset review whether or not such other rule is otherwise a
covered rule under this Act.
(4) Guidance.--The Administrator shall provide timely
guidance to agencies on the conduct of sunset reviews and the
preparation of sunset review notices and reports required by
this Act to ensure uniform, complete, and timely sunset reviews
and to ensure notice and opportunity for public comment
consistent with section 8.
(5) Review and evaluation of reports.--The Administrator
shall review and evaluate each preliminary and final report
submitted by the agency pursuant to this section. Within 90
days after receiving a preliminary report, the Administrator
shall transmit comments to the head of the agency regarding--
(A) the quality of the analysis in the report,
including whether the agency has properly applied
section 5;
(B) the consistency of the agency's proposed action
with actions of other agencies; and
(C) whether the rule should be continued without
change, modified, consolidated with another rule, or
terminated.
(b) Agency Sunset Review Procedure.--
(1) Sunset review notice.--At least 30 months before the
review deadline under section 7(a) for a covered rule issued by
an agency, the agency shall--
(A) publish a sunset review notice in accordance
with section 8(a) in the Federal Register and, to the
extent reasonable and practicable, in other
publications or media that are designed to reach those
persons most affected by the covered rule; and
(B) request the views of the Administrator and the
appropriate committees of the Congress on whether to
continue without change, modify, consolidate, or
terminate the covered rule.
(2) Preliminary report.--In reviewing a covered rule, the
agency shall--
(A) consider public comments and other
recommendations generated by a sunset review notice
under paragraph (1); and
(B) at least 1 year before the review deadline
under section 7(a) for the covered rule, publish in the
Federal Register, in accordance with section 8(b), and
transmit to the Administrator and the appropriate
committees of the Congress a preliminary report.
(3) Final report.--The agency shall consider the public
comments and other recommendations generated by the preliminary
report under paragraph (2) for a covered rule, and shall
consult with the appropriate committees of the Congress before
issuing a final report. At least 90 days before the review
deadline of the covered rule, the agency shall publish in the
Federal Register, in accordance with section 8(c)(2) or 8(d),
and transmit a final report to the Administrator and the
appropriate committees of the Congress.
(4) Open procedures regarding sunset review.--In any sunset
review conducted pursuant to this Act, the agency conducting
the review shall make a written record describing the subject
of all contacts the agency or Administrator made with non-
governmental persons outside the agency relating to such
review. The written record of such contact shall be made
available, upon request, to the public.
(c) Effectiveness of Agency Recommendation.--If a final report
under subsection (b)(3) recommends that a covered rule should be
continued without change, the covered rule shall be continued. If a
final report under subsection (b)(3) recommends that a covered rule
should be modified, consolidated with another rule, or terminated, the
rule may be modified, so consolidated, or terminated in accordance with
section 8(d).
(d) Preservation of Independence of Federal Bank Regulatory
Agencies.--The head of any appropriate Federal banking agency (as that
term is defined in section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
(12 U.S.C. 1813(q)), the Federal Housing Finance Board, the National
Credit Union Administration, and the Office of Federal Housing
Enterprise Oversight shall have the authority with respect to that
agency that would otherwise be granted under section 7(a)(2)(B) to the
Administrator or other officer designated by the President.
SEC. 7. REVIEW DEADLINES FOR COVERED RULES.
(a) In General.--For purposes of this Act, the review deadline of a
covered rule is as follows:
(1) Existing significant rules.--For a significant rule in
effect on the date of the enactment of this Act, the initial
review deadline is the last day of the 4-year, 5-year, 6-year,
or 7-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this
Act, as specified by the Administrator under section
6(a)(2)(A). For any significant rule that 6 months after the
date of enactment is not assigned to such a group specified
under section 6(a)(2)(A), the initial review deadline is the
last day of the 4-year period beginning on the date of
enactment of this Act.
(2) New significant rules.--For a significant rule that
first takes effect after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the initial review deadline is the last day of either--
(A) the 3-year period beginning on the date the
rule takes effect, or
(B) if the Administrator determines as part of the
rulemaking process that the rule is issued pursuant to
negotiated rulemaking procedures or that compliance
with the rule requires substantial capital investment,
the 7-year period beginning on the date the rule takes
effect.
(3) Rules covered pursuant to public petition or
congressional request.--For any rule subject to sunset review
pursuant to a public petition under section 4(c) or a
congressional request under section 4(d), the initial review
deadline is the last day of the 3-year period beginning on--
(A) the date the agency or Administrator so
designates the rule for review; or
(B) the date of issuance of a final court order
that the agency is deemed to have designated the rule
for sunset review.
(4) Related rule designated for review.--For a rule that
the Administrator designates under section 6(a)(3) for sunset
review because it is related to another covered rule and that
is grouped with that other rule for simultaneous review, the
initial review deadline is the same as the review deadline for
that other rule.
(b) Temporary Extension.--The review deadline under subsection (a)
for a covered rule may be extended by the Administrator for not more
than 6 months by publishing notice thereof in the Federal Register that
describes reasons why the temporary extension is necessary to respond
to or prevent an emergency situation.
(c) Determinations Where Rules Have Been Amended.--For purposes of
this Act, if various provisions of a covered rule were issued at
different times, then the rule as a whole shall be treated as if it
were issued on the later of--
(1) the date of issuance of the provision of the rule that
was issued first; or
(2) the date the most recent review and revision of the
rule under this Act was completed.
SEC. 8. SUNSET REVIEW NOTICES AND AGENCY REPORTS.
(a) Sunset Review Notices.--The sunset review notice under section
6(b)(1) for a rule shall--
(1) request comments regarding whether the rule should be
continued without change, modified, consolidated with another
rule, or terminated;
(2) if applicable, request comments regarding whether the
rule meets the applicable Federal cost-benefit and risk
assessment criteria; and
(3) solicit comments about the past implementation and
effects of the rule, including--
(A) the direct and indirect costs incurred because
of the rule, including the net reduction in the value
of private property (whether real, personal, tangible,
or intangible), and whether the incremental benefits of
the rule exceeded the incremental costs of the rule,
both generally and regarding each of the specific
industries and sectors it covers;
(B) whether the rule as a whole, or any major
feature of it, is outdated, obsolete, or unnecessary,
whether by change of technology, the marketplace, or
otherwise;
(C) the extent to which the rule or information
required to comply with the rule duplicated,
conflicted, or overlapped with requirements under rules
of other agencies;
(D) in the case of a rule addressing a risk to
health or safety or the environment, what the perceived
risk was at the time of issuance and to what extent the
risk predictions were accurate;
(E) whether the rule unnecessarily impeded domestic
or international competition or unnecessarily intruded
on free market forces, and whether the rule
unnecessarily interfered with opportunities or efforts
to transfer to the private sector duties carried out by
the Government;
(F) whether, and to what extent, the rule imposed
unfunded mandates on, or otherwise affected, State and
local governments;
(G) whether compliance with the rule required
substantial capital investment and whether terminating
the rule on the next review deadline would create an
unfair advantage to those who are not in compliance
with it;
(H) whether the rule constituted the least cost
method of achieving its objective consistent with the
criteria of the Act under which the rule was issued,

including clear identification of those who were
subject to the rule;

(1) specific requests for factual findings and recommended
legal conclusions regarding the application of section 5 to the
rule, the continued need for the rule, and whether the rule
duplicates functions of another rule;
