What the agency says
This NPRM proposes to reinstate and expound upon procedural reforms for the Department's rulemakings, guidance documents, and enforcement actions rescinded by a final rule published by the Department on April 2, 2021, "Administrative Rulemaking, Guidance, and Enforcement Procedures." Accordingly, this proposed rule would revise and update the Department's internal policies and procedures relating to the issuance of rulemaking documents. In addition, this NPRM proposes updates to the Department's procedural requirements governing the review and clearance of guidance documents, and the initiation and conduct of enforcement actions, including administrative enforcement proceedings and judicial enforcement actions brought in Federal court.
