Truth in Regulations Act of 2017 This bill requires agencies to have written procedures to ensure that an issuance of policy guidance documents (other than regulatory actions) is approved by each appropriate senior agency official unless a supervisor or agency head has agreed to an employee's justification to deviate from the requirements. An agency must also maintain on its website a list of, links to, and a means for the public to comment on and request issuance, modification, or rescission of, such documents. A guidance document may not include mandatory language unless: (1) the agency is describing a statutory or regulatory requirement, (2) the language is addressed to agency employees, or (3) the prohibition against that mandatory language prevents agency consideration of a position advanced by an affected private party. The bill requires agencies to publish drafts of guidance documents for public comment. The bill replaces the "good cause" exception to proposed rulemaking notice and publication requirements with an exception that applies if the agency determines that an imminent threat to public health or safety or a similar exigent circumstance exists. When such exception is applied, the agency, within 18 months after the rule takes effect, shall: (1) provide for a period in which interested persons may submit written data, views, or arguments; and (2) consider such submissions and, if appropriate, repeal or amend the rule.

Legislative efforts to introduce legislation related to agency use of guidance documents in lieu of rulemaking. Agencies have been issuing guidance and expanding scope and coverage of regulations via memorandum rather than pursuing notice and comment rulemaking since the 2015 Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association decision. The legislation includes S. 951 - Regulatory Accountability Act of 2017, S. 580 - Truth in Regulations Act of 2017, and S. 584 - Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act of 2017. Legislative efforts to regulate cosmetics. No specific legislation has been introduced to-date. Legislative efforts in support of 2018 reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. No legislation has been introduced to date. Legislative efforts in support of HR 5729, the Transportation Worker Identification Credential Accountability Act of 2018. Introduced by Rep. John Katko (R-NY-24), the bill delays implementation of the TWIC Reader Rule, which is due to become effective August 23, 2018. The delay would extend until after the report to Congress is completed, which was required by the Transportation Security Card Program Assessment Act. On July 10, 2018, the bill passed the House under suspension of the rules. Legislation in support of S. 3094, companion legislation to H.R. 5729, introduced in the Senate by Senator Daniel Sullivan (R-AK). The Senate bill has been referred out of committee but has yet to go to the floor for a vote.
