What did Energy Department publish on May 20?

The US Energy Department published a two page notice on May 20, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Complaint of Michael Mabee Related to Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards; Notice of Complaint.

The Department oversees energy policies and is involved in how the US handles nuclear programs. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department's misguided energy regulations have caused large losses to consumers for decades.

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.
