The Administrative Procedures Act requires federal agencies to give the public an opportunity to comment on proposed rules by publishing a notice of them in the Federal Register. The Federal Register notice includes the text of the proposed rule as well as information on when, where, and to whom your comments should be submitted. Talk with your trade association, other small business owners, and regulatory experts. Then do your part to help ease the burden of regulations by commenting on the proposed rules that impact your small business.
