15 notices published in week ending Jan. 15 by Homeland Security Department

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

The most recent notice, Information Collection Request to Office of Management and Budget; OMB Control Number: 1625-0068, was submitted on January 14, 2022.

The Homeland Security Department published three the week before, marking a 400 percent increase.

The Department was built out of more than 20 agencies in 2002. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lower taxes and boosting federal efficiency, argued the Department is burdened with "unneeded bureaucracy" which could be handled by other departments or standalone operations.

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.
