Abstract
Interested members of the public may request a meeting with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to present their views about a regulatory action that is under OIRA review. These meetings, known as E.O. 12866 meetings, serve as listening sessions for OIRA officials and representatives from the agency or agencies taking the regulatory action. To assist members of the public seeking to request an E.O. 12866 meeting, OIRA has modified its website and posted an instructional video (in English and Spanish) and a step-by-step guide to requesting a meeting on its website. Moreover, to encourage participation by those who have not historically requested E.O. 12866 meetings, including those from underserved communities, OIRA will offer periodic and accessible trainings on effective participation in E.O. 12866 meetings. OIRA has recently held three training sessions on E.O. 12866 meeting participation, including one training session conducted entirely in Spanish to assist Spanish-speaking members of the public who may wish to request an E.O. 12866 meeting in the future. OIRA is offering another training session on E.O. 12866 meeting participation next month. This training session will have live audio translation in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, in addition to ASL interpretation and English captioning.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 establishes and
governs the process under which OIRA reviews agencies' significant
regulatory actions. E.O. 12866 provides that members of the public may
meet with OIRA during OIRA's review of draft proposed and final rules.
These meetings, known as E.O. 12866 meetings, offer an opportunity for
members of the public to present their views on regulatory actions
under review. OIRA invites representatives from the agency or agencies
taking the regulatory action to these meetings, though participation
may be limited by scheduling or other considerations. E.O. 12866
meetings serve as listening sessions for OIRA and agency
representatives, and both the identity of meeting attendees and any
written materials provided by the meeting requestors are disclosed on
OIRA's website.
In an effort to facilitate meeting requests, OIRA has modified its
website to simplify the request form and to provide several avenues
through which outside parties can request meetings.\1\ In addition,
OIRA has provided detailed written step-by-step instructions in English
and Spanish,\2\ as well as a video (also translated into Spanish),\3\
on its website, <a href="http://RegInfo.gov">RegInfo.gov</a>, on how to schedule a meeting. To
facilitate broader participation in E.O. 12866 meetings, including by
requestors who have not historically requested such meetings or face
challenges in traveling to Washington, DC, OIRA holds E.O. 12866
meetings virtually, primarily as teleconferences.

To encourage participation by members of the public who have not

recently held three training sessions. OIRA will be hosting another

schedule a meeting; (3) the format of E.O. 12866 meetings; (4) what
type of information or input is most helpful to receive during an E.O.
