Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia May 19, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This final rule responds to an Executive order titled ``Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents'' (October 9, 2019). The central principle of the E.O. is that agency guidance documents should clarify existing obligations. Guidance documents are not permitted to impose new, binding requirements on the public. Pursuant to the E.O., Federal agencies are required to finalize regulations, or amend existing regulations as necessary, to set forth processes and procedures for issuing guidance documents. This final rule codifies internal procedural requirements governing the review and clearance of guidance documents for Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) and Pretrial Services Agency (PSA).
