SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 18, 2007, the President issued
Executive Order (EO) 13422,
‘‘Amendment to Executive Order 12866
for Regulatory Planning and Review.’’
On that same day, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) issued
a related document, the OMB Bulletin
on Agency Good Guidance Practices
(the Bulletin). The primary focus of the
EO and the Bulletin is on improving the
way the Federal government does
business with respect to significant
guidance documents issued to the
public by increasing their quality,
transparency, accountability, and
coordination. OMB subsequently issued
a memorandum to assist agencies in
their implementation of the EO and
Bulletin.1

Jkt 211001
Among other things, the Bulletin
requires an agency to:
• Maintain on its Web site a list of
significant guidance documents in
effect, along with a link to each
document.
• Establish and clearly advertise on
the Web site a means for the public to
submit comments electronically on
significant guidance documents, and to
submit a request electronically for
issuance, reconsideration, modification,
or rescission of significant guidance
documents.
• Designate an office (or offices) to
receive and address complaints by the
public that the agency is not following
procedures in the Good Guidance
Bulletin or is treating a significant
guidance document as a binding
requirement. Provide the name and
contact information for the office(s) on
the Web site.
This notice announces the Web
address where APHIS will maintain its
list of significant guidance documents
in effect, along with a link to each
document. That Web address, also
shown in the ADDRESSES section of this
notice, is https://www.aphis.usda.gov/
guidance.
APHIS intends to make new or
revised significant guidance documents
available for public comment through
the Federal eRulemaking Portal, https://
www.regulations.gov. If we issue an
economically significant guidance
document, we will take public comment
on a draft of the economically
significant guidance document prior to
making it effective, as required by the
Bulletin. We will also publish a
response to comments we receive on the
economically significant guidance
document and make our response and
the final guidance document available at
Regulations.gov as well as on our Web
site. We may make significant guidance
documents that are not economically
significant effective prior to taking
public comment. We will give due
consideration to comments we receive
on significant guidance documents that
are not economically significant, but, as
provided in the Bulletin, we will not
publish a response to the comments. All
