SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Unfunded Mandates 
Accountability Act of 2011’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The public has a right to know the benefits 
and costs of regulation. Regulations impose signifi-
cant costs on individuals, employers, State, local, 
and tribal governments, diverting resources from 
other important priorities. 
(2) Better regulatory analysis and review 
should improve the quality of agency decisions, in-
creasing the benefits and reducing unwarranted 
costs of regulation. 
(3) Disclosure and scrutiny of key information 
underlying agency decisions should make Govern-
ment more accountable to the public it serves. 
SEC. 3. REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSES FOR CERTAIN 
RULES. 
Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1532) is amended— 
(1) by striking the section heading and insert-
ing the following:
