The Office of Legal Policy (OLP) acts as the principal liaison between the rulemaking components of the Department of Justice, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget, and other federal agencies. OLP coordinates the regulatory development and the review of virtually all regulations and rule-related notices developed by all Department components for policy consistency, appropriate interagency and intra-Departmental coordination, and compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. OLP assists Department components with the drafting of regulations and notices, along with their clearance and publication in the Federal Register. In addition, OLP reviews regulations and notices drafted by other federal agencies that may affect the Department of Justice.
