2 notices published in week ending July 23 by Homeland Security Department

There were two notices published by the Homeland Security Department in week ending July 23, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records, was submitted on July 22, 2022.

The Homeland Security Department published zero the week before, marking a Infinity 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.
