Increased Transparency: All Federal Agency Guidance Documents Must Be Published Online.
This Act mandates that federal agencies publish all guidance documents (such as interpretations, bulletins, and letters) in a single, easily accessible online location. Citizens and businesses will gain faster access to information on how agencies interpret the law, making it easier to understand their obligations and rights. All new and existing guidance must be published, and rescinded documents will be archived with a clear indication of their status.
Key points
All federal agencies must publish their guidance documents and interpretations of regulations in one central online location, significantly increasing government transparency.
Citizens will gain easy access to documents explaining how agencies apply the law (e.g., memoranda, bulletins, press releases), aiding in decision-making and planning.
Agencies have 180 days to publish all existing, currently effective guidance; rescinded documents must be maintained in the archive with a clear indication that they are no longer in effect.
Guidance documents legally exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) are not subject to these publication requirements.
