Enable the public to see and comment on rules the Department of Defense is proposing.

Other Information:

E-RULEMAKING - By visiting www.regulations.gov, you can see and comment on rules the Department of Defense and other Federal Agencies are proposing which may affect the public. For example, recent proposed rules from our Department include one providing details on changes in the TRICARE healthcare program and another describing how we will process applications under the Homeowners Assistance Program. Background. The Federal eRulemaking initiative facilitates public participation in the federal regulatory process by improving the public's ability to find, view, understand and comment on federal regulatory actions and rulemaking materials. The initiative improves access to, and quality of, the rulemaking process for individuals, businesses and other government entities while streamlining and increasing efficiency of internal agency processes. Launched in 2003, Regulations.gov is eRulemaking’s public-interfacing Web site providing citizens, small businesses, corporations, civic organizations and all levels of government with one-stop, Internet access to view, download and submit comments on federal rules and notices.
