Rulemaking Dockets
This page provides links to sites relating to DOT
rulemaking dockets.
Federal
Docket Management System (FDMS)/Regulations.gov
This government-wide, on-line
database includes DOT's public docket. The website also includes public
dockets for our guidance documents, adjudicatory actions, peer reviews, data
quality, and other matters. The NPRM is also placed in the public docket for
that rulemaking. The rulemaking docket is the file in which DOT places all
of the rulemaking documents it issues (e.g., the NPRM, hearing notices,
extensions of comment periods, and final rules), supporting documents that it
prepares (e.g., economic and environmental analyses), studies that it relies on
that are not readily available to the public, all public comments related to the
rulemaking (e.g., comments that may be received in anticipation of the
rulemaking, comments received during the comment period, and late-filed
comments), and other related documents. We also prepare and place in the
docket summaries of any substantive, public, oral communications (sometimes
referred to as "ex parte" contacts) that concern a rulemaking that we may
receive. DOT agencies use the electronic, internet-accessible
dockets at Regulations.gov as their complete, official-record, docket; all hard
copies of materials that should be in the docket, including public comments, are
electronically scanned and placed in the docket.
Information on DOT Dockets This is a DOT site set up to
provide information for DOT users of FDMS and other information about DOT
activities related to our dockets.
