What It Is

Every organization that issues regulations should provide information about those regulations on its website and link to the Regulations.gov portal. This is a best practice for managing your agency’s website.

Why It's Important

The President's Management Agenda makes it a priority to inform the public about pending regulations and provide them an opportunity to be involved in rulemaking. It helps citizens to be more involved in their government.
