Complete Comment Notice For Free

The notice2010and2010comment process enables anyone to submit a comment on any part of the proposed rule. This process is not like a ballot initiative or an up2010or2010down vote in a legislature. An agency is not permitted to base its final rule on the number of comments in support of the rule over those in opposition to it.

Comment Period A comment period is the range of time the public has to submit input before an agency makes a final decision on a proposed rule. Federal agencies typically invite public comments on RFIs, ANPRMs, NPRMs, Direct Final Rules, and Interim Final Rules. In most cases, the comment period is 60 days.

Response to Public Comments Agencies must consider all relevant matter presented during the comment period, and they must respond in some form to all comments received. They are not, however, required to take any specific action with regard to the rule itself.

Public Comment Federal law requires government agencies to allow at least 30 days after publication for the public to submit written data, views, or arguments regarding a proposed rule. In some cases, the statute authorizing a rule requires a longer comment period.

Participating agency is a Federal agency that publishes Federal Register documents on Regulations.gov but does not participate in the eRulemaking program. Therefore, dockets, public comments and additional supporting documentation are not posted on Regulations.gov.

Published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents.
