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 Review and Sunset Act of
2015''.
SEC. 2. PURPOSE.
The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to require agencies to regularly review significant
rules to determine whether the rules 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 Congress regarding the
actual costs and burdens of rules 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 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 agencies.
SEC. 3. DESIGNATION OF RULES FOR SUNSET REVIEW.
(a) Covered Rules.--A covered rule shall be subject to sunset
review in accordance with this Act.
(b) 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 that has jurisdiction over the rule requesting that the
agency designate the rule for sunset review, which shall--
(A) be in writing, but is not otherwise required to
be in any particular form; and
(B) 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.
(2) Response required for noncomplying petitions.--If an
agency determines that a petition submitted under paragraph (1)
does not meet the requirements of this subsection, the agency
shall provide a response to the petitioner not later than 30
days after the date on which the agency received the petition,
which shall--
(A) notify the petitioner of the problem; and
(B) provide information on how to formulate a
petition that meets those requirements.
(3) Decision within 90 days.--Not later than 90 days after
the date on which an agency receives a petition under paragraph
(1) 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.
(4) Petitions deemed granted for substantial inexcusable
delay.--A petition submitted under paragraph (1) 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 (3), in notifying the petitioner of the
determination of the agency to grant or deny the petition.
(5) Public log.--Each agency shall maintain a public log of
petitions submitted under paragraph (1), which shall include
the status or disposition of each petition.
(c) Congressional Requests.--
(1) In general.--An appropriate committee of 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.
(2) Designation by administrator.--Not later than 30 days
after the date on which the Administrator receives a request
under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall designate the rule
for sunset review, unless the Administrator determines that it
would not be in the public interest to conduct a sunset review
of the rule.
(3) Notice of denial.--If the Administrator denies a
request under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall transmit
to the committee of Congress making the request a notice
stating the reasons for the denial.
(d) Publication of Notice of Designation for Sunset Review.--After
designating a rule under subsection (b) or (c) for sunset review, the
agency or the Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly publish a
notice of that designation in the Federal Register.
SEC. 4. 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 shall 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.
(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.
(c) Applicable Requirements Defined.--In this section, the term
``applicable requirements'' includes any requirement for--
(1) cost-benefit analysis; and
(2) standardized risk analysis and risk assessment.

6-year, or 7-year period beginning on the date of the
enactment of this Act, as specified by the
Administrator under section 5(a)(2)(A).

initial review deadline is the last day of the 4-year
period beginning on the date of the enactment of this

pursuant to a public petition under section 3(b) or a
congressional request under section 3(c), the initial review
deadline is the last day of the 3-year period beginning on--

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 5(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 the 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, the rule as a whole shall be treated as if it were
issued on the later of--

rule meets the applicable Federal cost-benefit and risk
assessment criteria; and

effects of the rule, including--
(A) the direct and indirect costs incurred because
of the rule, including the net reduction in the value

the rule exceeded the incremental costs of the rule,
both generally and regarding each of the specific
industries and sectors the rule covers;

feature of it, is outdated, obsolete, or unnecessary,

the Federal Government;
