How do I File Submissions?
Certain agencies in FDMS allows public to file submission for which docket number has not been issued yet.
In order to make sure that a submission is filed and processed properly "Shell Dockets" have been created for those
agencies accepting these submissions. An Instructional document has been posted for these shell dockets which accepts comments.
Public can locate these documents by clicking on the Shell Docket number below or by using any of the Search functions on the Regulations.gov site.
Documents that are accepting submissions are listed with the "Comment" icon  .
Clicking on the "Comment" icon accesses the Comment/Submission Form, where submissions and other information can be
submitted to the appropriate Federal agency or department.
The Submitter Information section of the Comment/Submission Form asks the public to enter information about them as the Submitter.
Any fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required fields that must be entered in order to submit the comment/submission through Regulations.gov.
Fields marked with a blue pound sign (#) indicate that the field will be viewable by anyone who accesses the Regulations.gov site.
The Submitter Information section of the Comment/submission Form may differ between agencies, depending on the information that the agency
is collecting or requires of the submitter.
A "General Comments" field is available for users to enter their comments. Users can attach documents that they wish to have considered as part of their comment/submission using the attachment feature. Multiple attachments can be submitted. The following file types are accepted by Regulations.gov:
- PDF
- BMP Image (Windows, OS/2)
- Excel Template/Work Book
- GIF Image
- HTML Document
- JPEG Image
- PC Paint Image (Windows)
- Power Point 4.x (O.S)
- Rich Text Format (RTF)
- SGML Text
- TIFF Image
- Text Document
- Word Document
- Word Perfect

In some instances, agencies may ask the public to answer a question or questions relating to the Document for which
they are seeking comments/submissions. These questions appear above the "General Comments" field and include a field for the commenter to
provide a response to the question.
