COMMENT ON PROPOSED RULES
Your Views Are Important. Your comments let the agency know what you support, what you oppose, and any improvements you'd like to make to proposed rule language.
Timing Matters. In most cases, you have one, and sometimes two, opportunities to make comments:
-
Initial Comments - You can comment on the proposed rules for a specified number of days until 4:30 pm on the final specified day.
-
Rebuttal Comments - For an additional number of days, you can file comments in response to the comments filed by others during the Initial Comment period until 4:30 pm on the final specified day.
The number of days are different in each case, and are identified in each rulemaking discussion topic in the "Discussions" link at the top of the page.
Be Prepared. Review the proposed rules, applicable public notices, the agency's Statement of Need and Reasonableness explaining its views on the proposed rules, related exhibits, and the filed comments of others to inform your views. You can find this information:
-
At the clickable links below; or
-
On the proposing agency's website (see links embedded in each rulemaking discussion topic).
Be Clear. Your comments should:
-
Identify the specific part or subpart of the rule you are addressing;
-
Specify whether you support or oppose the proposed rule language;
-
Give reasons for your views; and
-
Be specific and offer language changes to solve the problems you identify.
Get Started.
