Rulemaking
Requirements
The document is a
summary of the requirements imposed on DOT as it implements its responsibilities
for rulemaking. This document was originally prepared for DOT professionals who
are involved in the rulemaking process. We have decided to make it available to
the public to help you better understand how the process works and the
requirements with which we must comply. We also hope it will make it easier for
you to participate effectively in the rulemaking process.
We want to stress, however,
that this document provides only a summary of what we believe are the important
requirements. It should not be relied on as a legal document. There are
hyperlinks to give you easy access to the statutes, executive orders, guidance
documents, memoranda, etc. that are cited, and you should refer to those for the
actual legal requirements. We also want to note that the document cites some
internal DOT guidance manuals. These manuals are frequently supplemented with
internal memoranda, emails, or even oral advice, and without this additional
information, the manuals could be misleading or confusing; for that reason, we
have not provided an online link to them.
