ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

The US Federal Reserve System published a three page proposed rule on Aug. 31, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity.

The Federal Reserve is the US's central bank, expanding many times during great financial uncertainty and panic. It has faced numerous criticisms since its creation in 1913, such as making the Great Depression worse and for lacking transparency and audits.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
