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.)
This week's list - regulations are still a moving target as some
are extended or suspended, supposedly temporarily - it's difficult to keep
track of. Ending soon are two items related to the National Environmental
Policy Act - one from EPA, the other from Dept of Energy. The entire act was
recently up for comment, you will remember. New - besides more COVID-19-related
items, are Rodenticide review - yes, they're back. They do this every year.
Also new - Endangered Mexican wolves. And USDA food policy relating to aid to
farmers - will this round go to Ag-business again? Work requirements for
food-stamp recipients, and more.
