2.5.3: Public Access
Make regulatory dockets electronically accessible and searchable, and allow for electronic submission of comments. Other Information:
It is Departmental policy to make regulatory dockets electronically accessible and searchable, and to allow for electronic
submission of comments using Regulations.gov, as part of our implementation of the E-Government Act of 2002. Department administrators
establish regulatory dockets for posting rules and other supporting materials on the Regulations.gov Web site to enable the
public to comment electronically. All public comments submitted electronically, or by mail, are posted to the appropriate
regulatory docket on the site. In addition to rulemakings, the Department posts and accepts public comment on Federal Register
notices, such as Information Collection Requests under the Paperwork Reduction Act and Privacy Act notices. Participation
by the Department in this important initiative provides transparency and public access in developing regulations, as well
as promoting a more efficient regulatory process within the Department of Defense.
