Week ending Dec. 3: Homeland Security Department publishes 18 notices

There were 18 notices published by the Homeland Security Department in week ending Dec. 3, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Recreational Boating Safety Projects, Programs, and Activities Funded Under Provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; Fiscal Year 2022, was submitted on December 2, 2022.

The Homeland Security Department published 22 the week before, marking an 18.2 percent decrease.

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.
