Federal Rulemaking Map
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office of Management and Budget has published a great tool to understanding the Federal Rulemaking Process.
The White House’s Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has published what they call a “Reg Map.” This map helps illustrate how the federal informal rulemaking process happens from start to finish. There are two major avenues for rulemaking at the federal level, informal and formal. By far, informal is used more often than formal. Informal rulemaking is often referred to as “notice and comment rulemaking” since it simply requires that a proposed new regulation/rule be published for public comment before being enacted.
Take a look at the map and let us know what you think!

I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Having read this I thought it was very enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
