the Department published an NPRM in 

the Federal Register (83 FR 61462), to 

amend the Nondiscrimination on the

submit comments on the Department’s 

NPRM using the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal, the Department is extending the 

public comment period for an 

additional two days. The Department 

must now receive your comments 

submitted through the Federal

delivered on or before 5 p.m. EST

Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

The Department encourages you to 

participate by submitting comments and 

related materials. The Department will 

consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period 

and may change the proposed rule 

based on your comments. 

Background 

The December 28, 2018, NPRM (83 FR

regulations that the Department follows 

in processing records under the

requests from the public. 

Extension of the Public Comment 

Period 

The comment period for the NPRM 

was set to expire on January 28, 2019 

(83 FR 67175). Due to a technical glitch 

on www.regulations.gov in mid-January, 

the Department believes it is 

appropriate to extend the comment 

period an additional day to ensure 

interested parties have the full 30 days 

to submit their responses to the NPRM. 

Accordingly, the Department extends 

the comment period for all comments 

on the NPRM to January 29, 2019.
