Introducing “How to Comment” Quick Guide

How to Comment is a one-page guide to the basics of influencing the process and rules you care about by submitting a formal comment.

Federal agencies issue thousands of rules every year, and these affect our lives in even more ways. Luckily for those who want to have a say in rulemaking, agencies are required by law to consider suggestions and concerns you may have about many kinds of rules. This happens through a process called “notice and comment” rulemaking. How to Comment is a one-page guide to the basics of influencing the process and rules you care about by submitting a formal comment. It covers: 

• How to find a rule to comment on;
• What to pay attention to when reading a proposed rule;
• What to put in your comment; and
• How to submit your comment.

We hope this will be useful in your advocacy. Please check it out, and let us know what you think!
