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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please email the Office of Management and Budget at publicparticipation@ omb.eop.gov. 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 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Sep 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 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.
