Notice of Training Session: Effective
Public Participation in the Public
Comment Process With the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
(With Live Translation in Spanish,
Mandarin Chinese, and ASL
Interpretation)
Office of Management and
Budget, Executive Office of the
President.
ACTION: Notice of training sessions.
AGENCY:
The notice-and-comment
Federal rulemaking process allows any
member of the public to submit a
comment on an agency’s proposed rule,
and in developing any final rule the
agency generally must respond to
relevant and significant public
comments. As part of its efforts to
strengthen public engagement in the
Federal regulatory process, the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) in the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) is offering a training
session on effective public participation
in the public comment process. OIRA
recently held two training sessions on
effective public participation in the
public comment process. Next month,
OIRA is offering another training
session. This training session will have
live audio translation in Spanish and
Mandarin Chinese, in addition to ASL
interpretation and English captioning.
DATES: The training session will be held
on October 9, 2024, at 4 to 4:45 p.m.,
eastern time.
ADDRESSES: Information to access the
virtual training session will be provided
upon registration. Members of the
public may register by sending an email
to publicparticipation@omb.eop.gov.

Please email the Office of Management
and Budget at publicparticipation@

SUMMARY:
Noticeand-comment rulemaking generally
affords any interested individual or
organization the opportunity to provide
written input on a Federal agency’s
proposed rule. Agencies, in turn, are
generally required to review these
comments as they consider how best to
finalize their regulatory proposals, and
to respond to relevant and significant
public comments in any subsequent
final rule.
Interested members of the public who
wish to comment, however, may not
always be aware of the most effective
way of participating in the notice-andcomment process. In public comments

and listening sessions held prior to the
release of OIRA’s Memorandum,
Broadening Public Participation and
Community Engagement in the
Regulatory Process, members of the
public noted challenges they face in
seeking to participate in the notice-andcomment process.1 For example,
interested members of the public may
lack clarity on how to write effective
comments on proposed rules; what
experiences, data, or information would
be most helpful to provide in comments;
or how to submit a public comment.
In response to feedback received from
the public and as part of its ongoing
efforts to strengthen public participation
in the regulatory process, OIRA recently
held two training sessions on effective
participation in the public comment
process. OIRA is offering another
training session on October 9, 2024, at
4 to 4:45 p.m., eastern time. This
training session will have live audio
translation in Spanish and Mandarin
Chinese, in addition to ASL
interpretation and English captioning.
At this training session, OIRA will
describe (1) opportunities to provide
comment in the Federal regulatory
process; (2) how to submit public
comments; and (3) how to draft effective
public comments. Members of the
public may register by sending an email
to publicparticipation@omb.eop.gov.
