Public notices: Commerce Department publishes 44 in week ending Dec. 18

There were 44 notices published by the Commerce Department in week ending Dec. 18, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment Request; West Coast Region Permit Family of Forms, was submitted on December 17, 2021.

The Commerce Department published 46 the week before, marking a 4.3 percent decrease.

The Department includes the Census Bureau, which is used to determine many factors about American life. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department is involved in misguided foreign trade policies and is home to many unneeded programs.

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.
