Notice of Training Session: Effective 

Public Participation in the Public 

Comment Process With the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

(With Live Translation in Spanish, 

Mandarin Chinese, and ASL 

Interpretation) 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget, Executive Office of the 

President. 

ACTION: Notice of training sessions. 

SUMMARY: The notice-and-comment 

Federal rulemaking process allows any 

member of the public to submit a 

comment on an agency’s proposed rule, 

and in developing any final rule the 

agency generally must respond to 

relevant and significant public 

comments. As part of its efforts to 

strengthen public engagement in the 

Federal regulatory process, the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

(OIRA) in the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) is offering a training 

session on effective public participation 

in the public comment process. OIRA 

recently held two training sessions on 

effective public participation in the 

public comment process. Next month, 

OIRA is offering another training 

session. This training session will have 

live audio translation in Spanish and 

Mandarin Chinese, in addition to ASL 

interpretation and English captioning. 

DATES: The training session will be held 

on October 9, 2024, at 4 to 4:45 p.m., 

eastern time. 

ADDRESSES: Information to access the 

virtual training session will be provided 

upon registration. Members of the 

public may register by sending an email 

to publicparticipation@omb.eop.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please email the Office of Management 

and Budget at publicparticipation@

omb.eop.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Noticeand-comment rulemaking generally 

affords any interested individual or 

organization the opportunity to provide 

written input on a Federal agency’s 

proposed rule. Agencies, in turn, are 

generally required to review these 

comments as they consider how best to 

finalize their regulatory proposals, and 

to respond to relevant and significant 

public comments in any subsequent 

final rule. 

Interested members of the public who 

wish to comment, however, may not 

always be aware of the most effective 

way of participating in the notice-andcomment process. In public comments 

and listening sessions held prior to the 

release of OIRA’s Memorandum, 

Broadening Public Participation and 

Community Engagement in the 

Regulatory Process, members of the 

public noted challenges they face in 

seeking to participate in the notice-andcomment process.1 For example, 

interested members of the public may 

lack clarity on how to write effective 

comments on proposed rules; what 

experiences, data, or information would 

be most helpful to provide in comments; 

or how to submit a public comment. 

In response to feedback received from 

the public and as part of its ongoing 

efforts to strengthen public participation 

in the regulatory process, OIRA recently 

held two training sessions on effective 

participation in the public comment 

process. OIRA is offering another 

training session on October 9, 2024, at 

4 to 4:45 p.m., eastern time. This 

training session will have live audio 

translation in Spanish and Mandarin 

Chinese, in addition to ASL 

interpretation and English captioning. 

At this training session, OIRA will 

describe (1) opportunities to provide 

comment in the Federal regulatory 

process; (2) how to submit public 

comments; and (3) how to draft effective 

public comments. Members of the 

public may register by sending an email 

to publicparticipation@omb.eop.gov.
