FN, LR Docket Comments: FSIS currently offers the 

opportunity to view comments submitted by the public on dockets published in the Federal Register. Comments are located with the relevant Notice or Rule. As time permits, FSIS is going further back to provide additional comments. Priority is given to the most recent issuances. FSIS requires that the posted comments conform to the accessibility standards in the Rehabilitation Act (Section 508), which increases the time necessary to prepare these documents. The transition to a new search engine (the Google search appliance), set for 2005, is expected to improve the relevance for all search results, particularly in the area of docket comments
