35 notices published in week ending Feb. 19 by Transportation Department

There were 35 notices published by the Transportation Department in week ending Feb. 19, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewal Approval of Information Collection 2120-0776, Airspace Authorizations in Controlled Airspace, was submitted on February 18, 2022.

The Transportation Department published 41 the week before, marking a 14.6 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.
