To require each agency, in providing notice of a rulemaking, to include a link to a 100-word plain language summary of the proposed rule.

Potential burden on Federal regulatory agencies
More compliance requirements
This clause requires federal agencies to include a link to a plain-language summary of no more than 100 words when proposing a new rule, with the summary posted on regulations.gov. The general public benefits from more accessible explanations of proposed regulations, making it easier for ordinary citizens and small businesses to understand and comment on rules that may affect them. Federal agencies are affected by the additional requirement to draft and publish these summaries.
Potential benefits are effects assessed as favorable to the named group. Potential burdens impose costs, restrictions, risks, or lost opportunities on that group.
Mixed effects contain countervailing effects on the same group. Unclear effects have an undetermined direction. A group can have separate benefits and burdens; these are counted separately.
Counts describe the number of identified effects, not their size or public value. Bill and clause counts are distinct within each view. Shared evidence may appear under several groups or policy areas, so their counts should not be added together.
Historical bill versions are included. Clauses analyzed in different versions count separately. A bill’s current status does not establish that every analyzed provision was enacted.
Only direct effects with high or medium confidence in the policy-area assignment are included. Bills are connected through sponsorship, cosponsorship, or Yea/Nay votes; a vote against a bill does not reverse its assessed effects. Vote dates filter recorded votes and vote-linked bills; sponsorship remains included.
