36 notices published in week ending Jan. 15 by Commerce Department

There were 36 notices published by the Commerce Department in week ending Jan. 15, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Whaling Provisions; Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling Quotas, was submitted on January 14, 2022.

The Commerce Department published 44 the week before, marking an 18.2 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.
