Week ending Jan. 29: Transportation Department publishes 9 notices

There were nine notices published by the Transportation Department in week ending Jan. 29, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Toyota Motor North America, Inc., Grant of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance, was submitted on January 28, 2022.

The Transportation Department published 16 the week before, marking a 43.8 percent decrease.

The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.

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.
