Affairs (With Live Translation in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and ASL
Interpretation)
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) is offering a training session on effective
public participation in the public comment process. OIRA recently held
two training sessions on effective public participation in the public
comment process. Next month, OIRA is offering another training session.
This training session will have live audio translation in Spanish and
Mandarin Chinese, in addition to ASL interpretation and English
captioning.
DATES: The training session will be held on October 9, 2024, at 4 to
4:45 p.m., eastern time.
ADDRESSES: Information to access the virtual training session will be
provided upon registration. Members of the public may register by

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-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 recently held two training sessions on effective
participation in the public comment process. OIRA is offering another
training session on October 9, 2024, at 4 to 4:45 p.m., eastern time.
This training session will have live audio translation in Spanish and
Mandarin Chinese, in addition to ASL interpretation and English
captioning. At this training session, 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. Members of the public may register by sending an email to
