SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Reduce Exacerbated 
Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation Act’’. 
SEC. 2. EXECUTIVE ORDER MANDATED INFLATION AC-
COUNTABILITY AND REFORM. 
(a) MANDATORY INFLATION FORECASTING.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—For any major Executive 
order, the President, acting through the Director of 
the Office of Management and Budget and the Chair 
of the Council of Economic Advisers, shall prepare 
and consider a statement estimating the inflationary 
effects of the Executive order, including whether the 
Executive order is determined to have no significant 
impact on inflation, is determined to have quantifi-
able inflationary impact on the consumer or pro-
ducer price index (including a detailed description of 
such impact), or is determined likely to have a sig-
nificant impact on inflation but the amount cannot 
be determined at the time the estimate is prepared. 
Any statement prepared under this subsection shall 
incorporate the inflationary impact of the debt serv-
icing costs associated with the applicable major Ex-
ecutive order. To the greatest extent practicable, any 
estimate of the inflationary impact of any major Ex-
ecutive order under this section shall take into ac-
count the spending patterns of military personnel
and of residents of non-metropolitan areas, including 
rural areas and farm households. 
(2) CPI IMPACT DISAGGREGATED.—If an Exec-
utive order is determined to have a quantifiable in-
flationary impact on the consumer price index under 
subsection (a), the statement required by such sub-
section shall include the amount of such impact on 
the consumer price index in total and disaggregated 
by the Food, Energy, and All Items Less Food and 
Energy categories of the consumer price index (as 
such categories are determined by the Secretary of 
Labor in consultation with the Commissioner of the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics). 
(b) AGENCY ASSISTANCE.—The head of each agency 
shall provide to the President, acting through the Director 
and the Chair, such information and assistance as the 
President, acting through the Director and the Chair, may 
reasonably request to assist the President, acting through 
the Director and the Chair, in carrying out this section. 
(c) REPORTING.—Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, and every year there-
after, the President, acting through the Director and the 
Chair, shall publish on the public website of the Office 
of Management and Budget and submit to the Committees 
on the Budget of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Govern-
mental Affairs of the Senate, and the Committee on Over-
sight and Accountability of the House of Representatives 
a report containing each statement prepared and consid-
ered under subsection (a) during the year. 
(d) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this sec-
tion shall be construed to suggest that the task of com-
bating inflation and bringing down the cost of living is 
the sole responsibility of the Executive Office of the Presi-
dent, and not also a key pursuit of the United States 
House of Representatives during the 118th Congress 
through thoughtful, productive legislative action.

meaning given such term in section 551 of title 5, 
United States Code.

mate) to cause an annual gross budgetary or eco-
