would be relevant to DHS’s 

consideration of the petition;

pertinent DHS legal authority for taking 

action.

(a) Public procedure. DHS may, in its 

discretion, seek broader public 

comment on a rulemaking petition prior 

to its disposition under this section. 

(b) Disposition. DHS may respond to 

the petition by letter or by Federal 

Register publication. DHS may grant or 

deny the petition, in whole or in part. 

(c) Grounds for denial. DHS may deny 

the petition for any reason consistent 

with law, including, but not limited to, 

the following reasons: The petition has 

no merit, the petition is contrary to 

pertinent statutory authority, the 

petition is not supported by the relevant 

information or data, or the petition 

cannot be addressed because of other 

priorities or resource constraints. 

(d) Summary disposition. DHS may, 

by written letter, deny or summarily 

dismiss without prejudice any petition 

that is moot, premature, repetitive, or 

frivolous, or that plainly does not 

warrant further consideration.
