On Mondays, Rogan’s List features a
listing of proposed rule and regulation changes that are currently accepting
public comment. Commenting is the way to show government agencies
how we feel about these proposed changes. Our comments also become part of a
record that will be reviewed by courts if and when a reg change is contested.
Courts use comments to judge whether an agency is acting arbitrarily and
capriciously.
Organization
Closing Soon
Recent
Section I - ICE, DHS, DOL, NLRB
Section II - everything environmental -
EPA, BLM, DOE
Section III - Civil rights, housing,
education, healthcare
Other: More on regulations (tracking the
trackers/general information)
(Note: After a couple of weeks items are moved from “Recent” and
“Closing soon” into the Roman numeral sections. A note on regulatory processes:
there are three stages - Notice, Proposed Rule, and Rule. There’s usually a
time lag of a few months to a few years between them, and they must be
published in the Federal Register before appearing on Regulations.gov. Comment
time varies from 10 days to 2 months, sometimes with extensions.)
Here is this week's list - Right now, regulations.gov is a
moving target because of the coronavirus emergency. One concern federal
employee unions have is lack of protection for them, suspension of rules - in
the "recent" section there are numerous changes enacted/proclaimed
because of the pandemic - it goes across agencies. Some deadlines extended.
Some offices close - some actions are by letter rather than proposed reg or
notice - that takes a while to do. I’ve made the ‘tracking the trackers’ part a
link to reduce size. There is a lot of stuff, and it's a moving target.
