Justice Department publishes notice on Feb. 24

The US Justice Department published a two page notice on Feb. 24, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection eComments Requested; Revision of a Currently Approved Collection; Inventories, Licensed Explosives Importers, Manufacturers, Dealers, and Permittees.

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

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.
