The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has announced a new system that collects information about individuals who submit public comments on OPM documents published in the Federal Register. This system, known as "OPM/Internal—29, Federal Register Comments," will store and manage comments and any personal information provided by the commenter. Public comments can be submitted via Regulations.gov, and these records are maintained in the Federal Docket Management System. OPM is committed to safeguarding this information and has detailed specific procedures for accessing and contesting records.
Simple Explanation
The OPM is making a list of people who comment on its rules, which is like when kids write their thoughts on a school project. They'll keep this information safe but may share it with others, like when teachers share notes with other school staff.
