** When Public Comment Matters
------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel Morrison
National Review

“It won’t change anything.” That’s a common refrain I hear when my colleagues with the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s HHS Accountability Project ([link removed]) and I urge organizations and individuals on the right to submit public comments on rules proposed by federal agencies.

Before an agency rule has the force and effect of law, an agency must provide the public an opportunity to provide formal written public input on the agency’s proposal. The agency is then required to consider and respond to these comments in its final rule.

Those hesitant to participate in the rulemaking process are correct that it is unreasonable to expect that a well-reasoned comment would move an agency to completely abandon the current administration’s policy agenda.

But just because comments won’t change everything doesn’t mean they won’t change some things. And sometimes, those changes can be significant.
