They knew about it, but I'm afraid they probably got caught.

A lot of these government agencies have automony to make laws without consulting Congress. They're required to print in the Federal Register. If they really want something passed the agency will give the new law a rather beign name and give it an insanely short comment period, then make it official. All this takes place without the knowledge or consent from anyone in Congress.
