## Provisions PRIA read

- GAO study on rule costs: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would require the Government Accountability Office to count how many rules and major rules were in effect on the date of enactment. The GAO would estimate the total economic cost of those rules and report to Congress within one year. This would give lawmakers more data about re…
- Limits on court review of rules: cost, medium. If enacted, the bill would bar most judicial review of determinations under this chapter. Courts would still be allowed to decide only whether an agency completed the procedural steps required for a rule to take effect. A joint resolution approving a rule would not alter statutory authority in cour…

- Congress must approve big rules: mixed, high. If enacted, the bill would define a "major rule" as any agency rule likely to have $100 million or more in yearly economic effect.

- Federal Reserve rule exemption kept: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would exclude monetary policy rules by the Board of Governors and the Federal Open Market Committee from the chapter's review and approval process. Those Federal Reserve rulemakings would remain outside the new congressional procedures. The change preserves the Fed's current in…
