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.

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.)
