The watchdog group OMB Watch does a terrific job staying on top of all of the proposed rules, executive orders, and other federal government actions that have far-reaching effects but can be easy to miss. Now, they’ve launched a new initiative to educate people about the regulatory process and show them how they can participate in it: the Regulatory Resource Center.
Check out their explanation of how the regulatory process works (including a notice-and-comment rulemaking flowchart); handy glossary of regulatory terms; instructions for finding rules in the Federal Register and commenting on proposed rules; and more. Visit it, bookmark it, and let them know what you think.
