Talk:Public comment

This is about as much as I have time to complete today. I hope the formatting is tolerable - seems like a bit more than just a stub. I'd like to get back and make the format more consistent with the rest of the encyclopedia. Not too manner references, not that much social science papers seem to be floating around on this topic yet.Wikidgood (talk) 07:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC) wikidgood

Status of page and pending improvements.
January 2011 this page is pending CITATIONS; HYPERLINKING; DOUBLE CHECKING. It is somewhat different than ordinary citing in that there are rules and regs on public comment for each of hundreds of jurisdictions which have linkable web sites but these are typically not google-able since they are often sequestered in pdf or sub sub domains... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidgood (talk • contribs) 19:21, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Please hold administrative fire until week of January 2, 2011. There are no inaccuracies herein.
 a WikiHobbit has extended an olive branch of peace to notify this is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Work will resume in earnest January 2, 2011.

Submitting comments via Regulations.gov vs. by docket number
1) It would be useful to add a section explaining that comments for US federal agencies can be submitted either to the individual agencies using the docket number, or via the Regulations.gov website, which forwards the comments to the appropriate agency. Is there a source online that explains how these two alternatives work? 2) When did Regulations.gov start dispatching comments to other agencies? Was there a central repository for comments in the paper era, before the website went online? Djembayz (talk) 20:12, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
