6 notices published in week ending April 16 by State Department

There were six notices published by the State Department in week ending April 16, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Secretary of State's Determination Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 To Provide Military Assistance to the Philippines To Support Counterterrorism Operations, was submitted on April 15, 2022.

The State Department published nine the week before, marking a 33.3 percent decrease.

The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.

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.
