The Department of Commerce has issued a final rule to remove its regulations on guidance document procedures. This action follows a 2021 Executive Order by President Biden that revoked several previous Executive Orders on Federal regulation. After reviewing the policies, the Department determined that the existing rule unnecessarily limited its ability to effectively issue guidance and decided to rescind it. The final rule becomes effective on December 18, 2024, and it does not require public comment or additional analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce is taking away some rules about how it shares advice because new rules from the President say they should. They think the old rules made it too hard for them to give helpful advice.
