Federal Register & eRulemaking

The Federal eRulemaking initiative facilitates public participation in the federal regulatory process by improving the public’s ability to find, view, understand and comment on federal regulatory actions and rulemaking materials.  It is Departmental policy to make regulatory dockets electronically accessible and searchable, and to allow for electronic submission of comments using Regulations.gov, as part of our implementation of the E-Government Act of 2002.

You can view Department-related notices, draft rules open for public comment and other materials at Regulations.gov.

Additionally, websites like govpulse and OpenRegs allow you to subscribe to receive alerts and provide additional search options.

Internal Department Publications & Policies

At http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/whats_new.html, the public can track new Department issuances (directives, instructions and similar materials) explaining internal policies and mechanisms of the Department. That page also allows users to sign up for e-mail alerts.
