OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Notice of Training Sessions: Effective Participation in the
Public Comment Process With the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the
President.
ACTION: Notice of training sessions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The notice-and-comment Federal rulemaking process allows any
member of the public to submit a comment on an agency's proposed rule,
and in developing any final rule the agency generally must respond to
relevant and significant public comments. As part of its efforts to
strengthen public engagement in the Federal regulatory process, the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) will offer training sessions on effective
public participation in the public comment process.
DATES: The training sessions will be held on July 18, 2024, at 3 to
3:45 p.m., Eastern Time, and July 24, 2024, at 5:30 to 6:15 p.m.,
Eastern Time.
ADDRESSES: Information to access the virtual training sessions will be
provided upon registration. Members of the public may register by
sending an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7a0a0f181613190a1b080e1319130a1b0e1315143a151718541f150a541d150c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="58282d3a34313b28392a2c313b3128392c3137361837353a763d3728763f372e">[email protected]</span></a>, noting the session

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice-and-comment rulemaking generally
affords any interested individual or organization the opportunity to
provide written input on a Federal agency's proposed rule. Agencies, in
turn, are generally required to review these comments as they consider
how best to finalize their regulatory proposals, and to respond to
relevant and significant public comments in any subsequent final rule.
Interested members of the public who wish to comment, however, may
not always be aware of the most effective way of participating in the
notice-and-comment process. In public comments and listening sessions
held prior to the release of OIRA's Memorandum, Broadening Public
Participation and Community Engagement in the Regulatory Process,
members of the public noted challenges they face in seeking to
participate in the notice-and-
[[Page 56778]]
comment process.\1\ For example, interested members of the public may
lack clarity on how to write effective comments on proposed rules; what
experiences, data, or information would be most helpful to provide in
comments; or how to submit a public comment.

In response to feedback received from the public and as part of its
ongoing efforts to strengthen public participation in the regulatory
process, OIRA will hold two training sessions on effective
participation in the public comment process. At these training
sessions, OIRA will describe (1) opportunities to provide comment in
the Federal regulatory process; (2) how to submit public comments; and
(3) how to draft effective public comments. The training sessions will
be held on July 18, 2024, at 3 to 3:45 p.m., Eastern Time, and July 24,
2024, at 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Members of the public may
