Administrative practices and procedures--Office of the Secretary, HHS. Proposed rule.
These proposed rules would reaffirm the Department's policy ordinarily to use notice and comment procedures in the development of rules relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits, and contracts, even though such action is not required by the Administrative Procedure Act, and would set forth the circumstances for such use. The Secretary believes that public comment serves an important purpose in bringing the expertise and views of interested parties to the attention of the Department.
