Agencies would try to verify whether electronic comments on proposed rules come from real humans rather than bots, and would identify and label "mass comments" from organized campaigns. Instead of posting every duplicate, agencies could post one sample plus a count, following OMB guidance and their own written policies.
Federal agencies that run public comment periods, the General Services Administration (which operates Regulations.gov), and citizens, advocacy groups, and businesses who submit comments.
Comments could be checked for authenticity and labeled if part of a mass campaign, though the bill states this should not reduce how much weight agencies give them. GAO would study how common computer-generated comments, including AI-generated ones, actually are.
