eRulemaking Description: eRulemaking will be an online forum for accepting public and internal comments on USDA agencies' proposed rules and regulations. It will expedite collaboration by receiving and processing comments on all USDA policies, procedures, and regulations that impact the general public and USDA constituency groups, such as environmentalists, regulated industries, and benefits recipients (including both individuals and businesses). This initiative is designed to promote democratic participation and "bring Washington closer to the people." Furthermore, eRulemaking will instill a greater sense of trust in the USDA and improve the satisfaction of citizens and organizations that deal with the Department regularly.
