Significant
Guidance Documents
On January 18, 2007, the President issued Executive Order
13422, Amendment
to Executive Order 12866 for Regulatory Planning and Review.
On that same day, the Acting Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs within the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) issued a related document, the OMB
Bulletin on Agency Good Guidance Practices (the GGP
Bulletin). The primary focus of the Executive Order and GGP
Bulletin is on improving the way the Federal government does
business with respect to guidance documents – by increasing
their quality, transparency, accountability, and coordination.
Executive Order 13422 and the GGP Bulletin will ensure that
guidance documents are of high quality, developed with
appropriate agency review and public participation, and readily
accessible by the public.
The Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of Diversion
Control, has issued guidance documents which are deemed
"significant" as defined by Executive Order 13422 and
the GGP Bulletin. Those guidance documents are posted on the
Diversion Control Program website. In addition, the Office of
Diversion Control has also posted many other guidance documents
on its website that are useful and helpful to the public and
industry, though they do not rise to the level of
"significant" guidance documents.
Persons wishing to provide feedback or complaints regarding
