Homeland Security Department discusses Safety Zone; Tennessee River, Tuscumbia, AL on April 13

The US Homeland Security Department published a three page rule on April 13, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Safety Zone; Tennessee River, Tuscumbia, AL.

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.
