This legislative proposal aims to prevent foreign adversaries from influencing the United States' federal rulemaking process. It achieves this by amending section 553 of title 5, United States Code, which governs agency rulemaking procedures. Specifically, the bill makes any foreign government designated as a foreign adversary by the Secretary of Commerce, along with its nationals or incorporated entities , ineligible to participate in public comment periods or petition U.S. agencies. This change ensures that only U.S. citizens and entities, or those not deemed foreign adversaries, can contribute to regulatory development. The intent is to protect the integrity of U.S. regulatory decisions by limiting input from entities identified as posing a national security risk.
