The Consumer Price Information Act of 2026 requires federal agencies to publish a Consumer Price Information Statement for each major rule they issue. This statement must provide a qualitative or quantitative description of the rule's potential impact on consumer prices across key sectors such as energy, food, housing, transportation, and healthcare. Furthermore, the statement needs to identify populations particularly sensitive to these impacts, including low-income households, seniors, and rural communities, and describe any applicable regional variations. It also requires a summary of the key assumptions and methodologies used to prepare the statement. These statements must be published in the Federal Register and on the issuing agency's website when the major rule is proposed, aiming to improve transparency and public understanding of regulatory costs on consumers.
